Managing Task Manager Organizational Units

Organizational Units enable administrators to define regions, entities, business units, divisions, departments, or any other entity that might be affiliated with a task. For example, you could define a geographical Organizational Unit called "North America", or a business unit Organizational Unit called "Sales". Organizational Units are hierarchical to facilitate reporting. The "Sales" Organizational Unit could contain "East Sales Region" and "West Sales Region" as part of its hierarchy.

When you create a schedule, you select the Organizational Unit to be used for the schedule, and the selected Organizational Unit is applied to all tasks in the schedule.

For example, you may have defined an Organizational Unit called "East Sales Region". When you select "East Sales Region" as the Organizational Unit for the schedule, the selected Organizational Unit is applied to all tasks in the schedule. The settings that you defined for that Organizational Unit, such as Timezone, Holiday Rules, and Work Days, apply to all tasks in the schedule for the "East Sales Region".
