This article covers how to create organizations.
- Organizations are groups of users based on employee data, assignment requirements, or other campus-defined data.
- Adding users to Organizations is the CSU recommended way to assign users to activities.
- Organizations can be used when creating audience rules.
- Currently, the CSU data import pushes campuses, departments, and bargaining units as organizations.
- Administrators can create organizations to group assignments and other non-data import-related groups.
Creating Organizations
Step 1: Go to Administration > Quick Links > Organizations.
Step 2: Select the New button on the top right-hand corner, then select New Organization.
Step 3: Fill out ALL the following information:
- Organization Name: Name
- Code/ID: DOMAINID-ASGN-XXXX (this code should only be used for manually created organizations). Please refer to Organization Codes for CSU-defined org code specifications imported nightly.
- Hierarchy Name: FUNCTIONAL
- Parent Organization: Attach it to Assignment Groups (ASGN).
Newly created organizations should ONLY be used to create groups for assignments. Do NOT create organizations for data that is currently being pushed from the CSU’s nightly data import. For example, you should not create an organization for a department on campus, all departments are listed in CSU Learn.
If your organization does not meet the above groups, please contact CSU Learn Support to discuss a new organizational structure for your organization.
Step 4: Click the Save button when completed.
Organizational Codes
