Creating Organization Units

An Organization Unit represents any grouping of resources in your organization, such as a department, a project or a particular office. You can have any number of organization units within an organization, and you can indicate their relationships with each other.

1. Click on the EasyAs tab to switch to the Organization Editor.
2. In the Organization Editor, select the Organization Unit tool in the Organization Modeler palette.
   
3. Drag it on to the empty part of the Organization diagram and drop it. This places an Organization Unit in the EasyAs organization.
   
4. The Label field of the new Organization Unit is automatically selected at this point. Type Claims Department into the selected field and press Enter. You will see that this is automatically reflected in the Label and Name fields on the Properties tab.
   Note: Components of the organization model have both a Name and a Label. A Label can contain spaces or non-alphanumeric characters. The Name is generated automatically from the Label, but strips out any spaces or non-alphanumeric characters. Note in this example that "Claims Department" is converted to "ClaimsDepartment" with no space.

   

   Business analysts use a Label to identify an object, while the Name is used internally, for example when implementing a script.

5. In the same way, add Life Claims as a second Organization Unit within EasyAs.
