Organization Type | Memority Documentation

Definition

An Organization Type is used to define the different Organizations (company, department, workplaces etc...) which are managed by the application Memority Portal.

An Organization is a specific type of Object which can be either:

hierarchical type
flat type

If the Organization is a hierarchical type one:

It allows to define other objects inside the Organization
It represents a node of the hierarchical tree
It is attached to a single parent node
It cannot have any parent node if the Organization is a root of a hierarchical tree
It can have child Organizations (no limit)
We can automatically define Attributes values on the Organization that come from the parent Organization.

If the Organization is a flat type one:

It works like any other type of object.

Configuration

Global information about common properties to any object types and associations with attributes are detailed in the Object Types page.

Specific Properties

Property name	Type	Description	Values (default value in bold)	Modifiable after creation
rootAuthorized	`Boolean`	Indicates if the Organization Type can be a root or not. If ON: the Organization Type may or may not have a parent. If OFF: the Organization Type must have a parent.	ON, OFF	YES
allowedParentOrganizationTypes	`Enum`	Indicates parent Organization types, which will be attached to it. Useful for defining hierarchy and restricting the hierarchy of types. Only for the Organization types which are not root. When editing an Organization Type, this property is mandatory if root = OFF and authorized if root = ON. If this property is empty, the "status inherited from parent" and "enabled inherited from parent" are grayed out because no parent has been defined, so no inheritance is possible from a parent.	-	YES
statusInherited	`Boolean`	If ON, the Organization inherits the status of its parents.	ON, OFF	YES
enabledInherited	`Boolean`	If ON, the Organization inherits the activation of its parents.	ON, OFF	YES

Organization Type must be bound to, at least, one Attribute definition. This type has another property compared to other Object Types:

Property name	Description	Values (default value in bold)	Modifiable after creation
inherited	Indicates whether or not the Attribute is used as an Attribute inherited from parents. This means that the value of these Attributes will be assigned the child Organizations. A root Organization cannot have inherited attributes.	true, false	YES
