Creating Accountability Element Hierarchies

This topic describes how to identify the accountability element types such as teams that you will use to build Accountability maps. It also describes how to customize the order in which element layers display on maps. For example, you can display the Task Force level below Department levels.

  To create an accountability hierarchy:

  1. On the Framework Setup page, select Accountability Hierarchy. The Framework Accountability Hierarchy box is displayed.

  2. Click Add to create the kinds of accountability elements such as business areas and employees that you use.

    Add elements in the order to place them on maps. For example, the order in this figure means that elements added below Business Areas on maps, automatically are Departments.

  5. Optional: Replace terms with those used by your organization. See Customizing Terminology.
