Maintenance > Hierarchy Group - Options for Agency Offices

Description

Options have been added to Recruitment Manager Maintenance > Hierarchy > Office to allow system administrators to do the following: turn off the Hierarchy Groups functionality for an individual agency office or;
make the Hierarchy Groups functionality mandatory for an individual office, thereby making it obligatory for agency front office staff to select a hierarchy group when submitting a job order, that is linked to that agency office, before the job order can be submitted to timesheet.

These options are only available if the hierarchy groups functionality is enabled in Maintenance > Hierarchy > Country Settings for the country to which an agency office belongs. For more information, see Enabling Hierarchy Group Functionality.

Benefits

This enhancement allows system administrators to determine if and how hierarchy groups functionality is to apply to individual offices within their organisation.

Configuration

If the Hierarchy Group functionality is enabled in Maintenance > Hierarchy > Country Settings, Hierarchy Group tab, options are available in Maintenance > Hierarchy > Office screen for any Agency Office that belongs to the corresponding Country, as highlighted in the example below.

Open

To override the hierarchy group functionality so that it is not applicable to job orders that are linked to the corresponding agency office, tick the Override Hierarchy Group Function field. By default, this hides the Hierarchy Group field on any job order that is linked to the corresponding agency office. However, you can choose to display the field but make it display-only by selecting the Disable option from the dropdown field instead.

Alternatively, if the hierarchy group functionality is to be applicable to the agency office, tick the Mandatory field to make it obligatory for font office staff to select a hierarchy group when submitting a job order that is linked to that agency office.
