How
does HRMantra handle territory management?
|
|
HRMantra’s role hierarchy allows you to manage the roll-up of
information among your company's territories. The hierarchy structure is not
based on traditional titles, but rather on a hierarchy of roles. Multiple
people with different titles can be assigned to the same role. Users always
have access to the data that is owned by or shared with users assigned to roles
below them in the hierarchy. A user’s role also determines which data is
accessible to him or her in forecasts.
Note:
Your role hierarchy interacts with your organization’s sharing model to
determine exactly what information a user can see, given the sharing setting is
selected to use hierarchies. For forecasts, a user’s role always determines
which information he or she can view, regardless of the sharing model.
Likewise, in a Private sharing model, a user’s role determines his or her
access to other users’ data. However, in a Public Read/Write or Public Read
Only organization, users can view (and edit, for Public Read/Write) information
of all other users, in addition to having access to the data of users below
them in the hierarchy.
