Generating Company Hierarchies for Data Aggregation


Data aggregation is available by using the Roll-up views, providing the administrator defined one or more hierarchies. The application administrator typically defines a default hierarchy by associating accounts with one another using the parent field on a company form, or the subaccount view for child accounts. Administrators can define Company hierarchies to display aggregated data across organizational structures, such as the activities, opportunities, contacts, and coverage teams. For example, the top node of the hierarchy contains activities for the organization, the subsidiaries below the organization, the departments at the subsidiaries, and contacts working at any level of the tree. As the end users move up and down the tree, they see more or less data rolled up to the selected level.

By default, only companies that are part of a relationship hierarchy can display roll-up data. You can modify the application to display roll-up data for companies which are not part of a hierarchy.
