Organisation Fields

Organisations are deliberately simple — a name, a description, and the relationships that build the hierarchy.


1. Description

  • What it’s for: A brief description of this organisational unit — what it does, its remit, and where it fits in the business.

  • What to include:

    • Describe the unit’s primary function and responsibilities.
    • Note where it sits in the broader organisational structure if that is not obvious from the name.
    • Keep it concise — one or two sentences is sufficient.
  • Example: "The Accounts Payable team is responsible for processing and approving supplier invoices and managing outgoing payments. Part of the Finance Division."


Relationships
