4 Enterprise Hierarchy

The enterprise hierarchy provides the reporting structure to an enterprise and its properties.

The enterprise has only a single hierarchy. The hierarchy ensures totals from all properties are available for reports and controls how dashboards and other visualizations show information in OPERA R&A.

The hierarchy consists of levels and properties. A property is a hotel. A level is a group of levels or a group of properties. You define the hierarchy by creating parent-child relationships between levels and properties. In the following figure of a sample hierarchy, District 1 is the parent to the Property A and Property B, and Region A is the parent to District 1 and District 2.

The enterprise hierarchy is utilized to determine user access to information in the application. Using the sample hierarchy as a model, you can create a District Manager group and then assign the role to Jen, the District Manager for District 1. Because of the relationship between District 1 and the Properties A and B, Jen can see information for those properties only. She cannot see information for the locations related to the other districts.
