In a previous article I had discussed on how the position hierarchy is set up for Purchase Orders and Requisition workflow approval. In this article I shall discuss how the hierarchy can be viewed diagrammatically.
You can view the hierarchy through the Hierarchy Diagrammer form.
Navigation: Hierarchy Diagrammer
Query for the hierarchy, e.g. EY PO Hierarchy.
Change the number to the correct version, if required.
Click on Open Editor button.
The top level of the hierarchy is displayed. You can drill down to the entire hierarchy as shown below.
Select a position on the left say, 5457. VP Operations Logistics…..
The property of this position is given in the Properties window on the right hand side.
Click on Position button.
A window opens that displays all the positions in the same organization. Close this window to come back to the hierarchy window.
Click on Assignment button
The employee with this position is displayed. Close this window.
On the Position Hierarchy Diagrammer window, click on Position Holders button.
All the employees holding this position is displayed.
Notice the top level menu while the Hierarchy Diagrammer form is open.
Four new icons are visible.
| Icon | |
 |
Refreshes the hierarchy. |
|
|
Displays the hierarchy in Vertical Style |
|
|
Displays the hierarchy in Interleaved Style |
|
|
Displays the hierarchy in Org-Chart Style |
The advantages of viewing the hierarchies in the diagrammer are
- The position hierarchy is viewed easily
- Drilling down is very easy
-
The positions can be changed by dragging and dropping
- If positions are changed by dragging and dropping the changes need to be saved and refreshed.
Cheers!
