2 Scope Selector

The Scope Selector allows you to quickly change the view of your organization’s hierarchy (that is, enterprise, locations, revenue centers, and zones). By selecting a scope, you are limiting the configuration changes you can make in each FLM module. For example, menu item price changes made at a location are inherited by the revenue centers associated with it.

Scope Selector consists of three views:

  1. Recent: The Recent view contains a list showing the hierarchy level and module's name (for example, Location - Menu) where you recently saved a change in FLM. The Recent view only lists the most recent change made at a scope level and module.

  2. System View: The System View is the default view when you open the scope selector, and it shows the Enterprise name and associated locations.

  3. Zones: Zones are custom hierarchies used to manage groups of locations and revenue centers within an organization. Zones may contain sub-zones and a single revenue center or a location can belong to multiple zones.

The System View contains the hierarchies to which you have been assigned access privileges in Simphony. There are three hierarchies in the system view:

  • Enterprise: The top administrative level of your organization.

  • Location: Identifies the physical property where restaurants within your organization are assigned and listed within an Enterprise. Typically a manager only has access to one location, while a regional manager may have multiple locations in their system view.

  • Revenue Center: Revenue centers are defined within an organization for sales tracking and accounting. Typically a revenue center matches an outlet within the location, such as a restaurant, bar, or retail outlet.

This figure depicts the relationship between the organization’s hierarchies using an example of an enterprise which has two locations, one with two revenue centers, and another with one revenue center.

This figure shows the FLM home page with the Scope Selector highlighted.

The Select Scope dialog lists the names of locations, zones, and revenue centers in alphabetical order beneath the enterprise along with drop-down arrows so you can navigate to each assigned revenue center.

When you select the Show object number checkbox, the object number of the locations, zones, and revenue centers displays before their name. The Search field is active and you can enter the name or object number of a location, zone or revenue center.
