This allows you to create specific organizational structures in a Schema, so that when you need to create an instance of that structure in your organization model, you can use the structures defined in the Schema. For example, you may want to create an organization structure for temporary projects that consists of specific Organization Units and Positions. You can create this structure in a Schema then create an instance of a temporary project based on the Schema. See Using a Schema in an Organization Model for more information.
When a component that has a standard type defined for it is created, you can assign the type in the Properties View for the component. By default no type is assigned, as in the following illustration. You can assign a type by clickingand selecting either the standard type or any other type that has been defined.
• Public Company is the delivered Organization type.
• Head Department is an Organization Unit type that is a member of Public Company. This type has a multiplicity defined as 0..1, so there can only be one Head Department.
• Department, Business Unit and Team are the other Organization Unit types delivered. All of these need to be in a hierarchical relationship with another typed organization unit as their parent. The hierarchy does not need to be that shown in the diagram, however; any one of the delivered organization units can be the parent of any other.For each of the Types in the schema you can create Attributes. An Attribute enables you to add some extra semantic information to each individual type. For example, for a Position whose type is Manager, you could create an Attribute called bonus to specify what type of bonus should be given to this Position. The Standard Position Type in the default schema has the attribute Contract Type assigned to it. The Standard Location Type delivered in the default schema has the following attributes already defined:
•
•
•
•
• When you create an attribute, you must specify a data type that determines its allowable values. For a description of the data types an attribute can have, see About Data Types.
The Department, Business Unit and Team Organization Unit Types have been grouped together in the Department organization unit type as unit members of the type. This means that when an Organization unit element is created in an Organization Model using the default schema, these elements are available from the Add Child menu, from the context menu or from the palette. This is illustrated below.When you subsequently add an Organization Unit to your Organization diagram, you can select one of these Elements from the Element field on the General tab, and assign it to the new Organization Unit.See Using a Schema in an Organization Model for more information.
