Prioritizing Organizational UnitsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

In Simple Maintenance and in Structural Graphics, priorities dictate how objects are presented in hierarchical structures.

There is generally more than one object on the same level of a structure. Objects which are on the same level of a structure will be arranged from top to bottom (tree structure) or from left to right (structural graphics) according to their object IDs. They will also be prioritized in this way.

You can set the order by assigning a priority number to each of the objects. You can either prioritize objects by giving them a number between 1 (highest priority) and 99 or by assigning them a combination of letters (AA, AB, AC, and so on).

Procedure


  1. On the Change Organizational Structure screen, select an object which is on the same level as another, whose priority you want to change. Having done this, choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Prioritize Next navigation step Organizational Unit End of the navigation path.

    The Priority of Organizational Units dialog box appears.

  2. In the Priority field, enter priority numbers for each organizational unit.

  3. Save your entries.

Results

The Change Organizational Structure screen appears, displaying a tree structure that reflects the priorities set.
