CONFIGURING

Corporate hierarchies
You can categorize a Person document in the IBM® Domino® Directory by a corporate hierarchy. When an IBM Notes® user selects a name from a Domino Directory, the user can view the list of names by the assigned Corporate Hierarchy.

You can categorize user names in any way you want in a corporate hierarchy. For example, you might categorize users by company division:

Marketing

Kaplan, Judy

Spera, Phyllis

Research and development

Burke, Kathy

Murphy, Bob

You can assign a user to up to six subcategories below a top-level category. For example, the following corporate hierarchy sorts each user by one subcategory below a top-level company division category.

Marketing

Design

Spera, Phyllis

Planning

Kaplan, Judy

Research and development

Hardware

Burke, Kathy

Software

Murphy, Bob

You can assign a user to up to four corporate hierarchies. For example, in addition to categorizing a user by company division, you could also categorize the user by geographic location:

Boston

Spera, Phyllis

Marketing

Design

Spera, Phyllis
