Creating a Dynamic Organization Unit

You can create a Dynamic Organization Unit within your Organization. This can be used to reference a Dynamic Organization. This in turn will allow you to model a repeating organization pattern such as a Branch in an organization.

Prerequisites

See Creating an Organization.

See Creating a Dynamic Organization.

Procedure

  1. In the Organization Model editor, double-click on the organization in which you want to place a Dynamic Organization Unit. The Organization Editor for that organization is opened.
  2. Select the Dynamic Organization Unit tool in the Organization Modeler palette, and click on the empty part of the Organization diagram. This places a Dynamic Organization Unit in the Organization.
  3. At this point the Label field of the Dynamic Organization Unit is automatically selected. The Name field is automatically filled with the same text as the Label, but without any internal spaces. The Label and Name are derived from the root organization unit of the referenced Dynamic Organization. This is not editable.
  4. If the Properties View is not already displayed, right-click the Dynamic Organization Unit you just created and select Show Properties View. The Properties View is displayed.

What to do next

Dynamic Organization Identifiers are arbitrary strings that will be defined on a Dynamic Organization by the user. These strings will have values assigned at runtime to identify an instance of the Dynamic Organization. The Dynamic Organization participant in a process that references an organization entity within this Dynamic Organization has a mapping between process data (which will provide the values for the identifiers at runtime) and these identifiers.
