Organizational chart - Change group hierarchy

General

The organizational chart provides an intuitive and convenient way to edit (delete, move) groups (departments) within the company hierarchy.

IMPORTANT: Adding / removing a PERMISSION GROUP (formerly loose group) is NOT possible via the organizational chart! For this use case, please proceed as described under Move employees to another department or Add employees to a group.

Procedure

In the menu tree under Administration, select Organizational chart. In principle, it is not necessary to change any settings here for this use case.

Clicking Start generates the organizational chart.

ATTENTION: It is important to understand that when a group is moved, all subgroups of that group are automatically moved as well.

Let us assume that we now want to define the group SuW-Serv as a subgroup of the group SuW-GuI. To do this, we proceed as follows:

Right-click the group SuW-Serv and select Cut group...

... now right-click the group SuW-GuI and select Paste group ...

... the result is immediately visible.

To change the group name and other properties of the group, simply select the entry Edit group. You are then automatically taken to the group management view (see FAQ: Change short name / name of a group).
