Organization Unit Properties

To view or edit an organization unit's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.

Manager

Specifies the manager of the organization unit. Select a user or role from the list.

Telephone

Specifies the telephone number of the organization unit.

Email

Specifies the email address of the organization unit.

Web site

Specifies the url for the web site of the organization unit.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

The following tabs are also available:

  • Sub-Organizations – lists the organization units that belong to this organization unit.

  • People – lists the people (see People (EAM)) that belong to this organization unit.
