Last Modified on 07/03/2024 5:51 am EDT
Starting with V10.0, Cora SeQuence has been renamed to Cora Orchestration.
V10.6
Overview
Cora Orchestration provides a robust OBS (organizational breakdown structure) mechanism capable of handling large organizations with thousands of groups and subgroups. On the Organization Management page you can create and manage organization groups and subgroups, add employees, and assign roles to employees, among other things.
Managing your organization breakdown structure
To access the Organization Management page, on the Administration site homepage, select Edit Organization.
The Organization Management page opens in a separate tab in the browser.
You can manage your organization breakdown structure directly from the organization tree, using the right-click menu. You can also use the navigation tabs, which provide the same functionality.
The Organization Tree pane is visible by default, and displays the first 20 groups. You can configure the number of groups that are displayed at a time.
To help you manage very large organization structures, with many groups and subgroups, you can hide the Organization Tree pane and work using the tabs.
Configuring the organization tree
You can can set up application variables to change the default behavior of the Organization Tree.
