Hi
I can provide you with some of the best practices to follow when working with hierarchies.
Understanding Different Types of Hierarchies
Before creating a hierarchy, it's important to familiarize yourself with the different types of hierarchies available. This will help you determine which type is best suited for your organization's structure. The three main types of hierarchies are:
Parent-Child Hierarchies: This type of hierarchy represents a traditional hierarchical structure, where each member has a direct parent and can have multiple children. It is commonly used in organizations with a clear reporting structure.
Level-Based Hierarchies: In a level-based hierarchy, members are organized into different levels or tiers based on their position or role within the organization. This type of hierarchy is useful when there are distinct levels of authority or responsibility.
Ad Hoc Hierarchies: Ad hoc hierarchies are flexible and can be created on the fly to meet specific reporting or analysis needs. They are not based on a predefined structure and can be customized as per the requirements of the situation.
Preparing Your Participant File Correctly
Once you have chosen the appropriate hierarchy type, it's crucial to prepare your participant file correctly. The participant file contains the necessary metadata for your hierarchy, such as employee IDs, manager IDs, and organizational unit IDs. Here are some key points to consider:
Limiting the Number of Hierarchies
In your project, you can have a maximum of 10 hierarchies. However, it is advisable to keep the number of hierarchies to a minimum to avoid complexity.
Using Advanced Options
When creating a hierarchy, you have the option to use advanced settings to customize the inclusion of people or add additional metadata. Here's what you need to know:
Updating Your Hierarchy
If you have already uploaded your participant file and collected data but need to make changes to your hierarchy, you can do so without manually moving units. Here's how:
Remember to always double-check your participant file and hierarchy settings to ensure accuracy and consistency in your org structure.
