Setting up a hierarchy between your Org Units helps you to view information in an immediate and easy way. Reports To information will in fact enable you to view your Org Unit structure in an Org Units Chart.

Setting a Reports To relationship is a very straightforward process that can be run using the Reports To tab in the Org Unit Details screen.

The Reports To field should contain the name of the Org Unit in charge of the one you are working on.

If the Org Unit you are working on is the top level one, or you do not have a hierarchical structure to set up, leave it blank.

In order to view and edit this data, you can use the two People in Org Unit (current) and People in Org Unit (all) screens. The two screens contain a current and complete view of people that are in the Org Unit you are working on.

The People in Org Unit screen can be used to manage the people who are currently deployed to an Org Unit. It is an Org Unit based view of the same data that is managed on the Deployments >> Org Units / Positions screen. Please see Deployments >> Org Units / Positions for further information on using this screen and building a person hierarchy.

People in Org Unit (all)

This screen is identical to People In Org Unit (current) except it shows a complete history (past, present and future) of all the people deployed to the selected Org Unit.
