The Change Organizational Structure screen acts as the foundation screen in Simple Maintenance. Your activities always begin there. You can then switch to the other screens in Simple Maintenance, as appropriate.

The Change Organizational Structure screen allows you to build up and maintain the organizational structure for your organizational plan. This is achieved by creating and maintaining organizational units. When you create organizational units in Simple Maintenance, you also automatically create the relationship records that link the units.

The Change Staff Assignments screen allows you to identify the staff assignments required for an organizational plan. This is achieved by creating jobs and positions, and by assigning holders to positions.

When you create positions on the Change Staff Assignments screen, you also automatically create the relationships records that link positions with organizational units. If you create positions by copying jobs, the system creates the relationship records that link positions and jobs.

However, one position will not automatically be designated as the leader of an organizational unit. For these types of relationships to be created, you must make the appropriate selections from the tree structure, and from the menu.

To focus on a single unit, choose the desired organizational unit on the Change Organizational Structure screen. The Change Staff Assignments screen appears, displaying details for the selected unit only.

The Change Task Profile screen allows you to create, maintain, and view task profiles for:

The types of tasks you can work with in the Change Task Profile screen depend on the view you have chosen.
