Organizational Units are campuses, schools, colleges, departments, or divisions beneath an institution. It's always best to organize these units based on your institution's actual hierarchy.
Creating a Unit
-
- Click on the Institutions tab.
- Click on the name of your institution. You can also search for your institution if you have a list of many.
- In the left-hand menu, click on Organizational Units.
- Click . If your institution already has a list of Organizational Units within Cayuse Proposals, the Add Unit button will be at the bottom of the list.
- This process will not be complete until you also add the unit in Backbone. Click here for instructions.
- Click on the Institutions tab.
Organizational Unit Tools
- Always require selection from list: If you want to always use your hierarchy units when creating or editing Professional Profiles, rather than allowing people to hand-enter departments and divisions, select this box.
- Bulk Load Organizational Units: Your Cayuse Proposals Implementation Specialist will ask you to fill out a spreadsheet showing your unit hierarchy. Data from this spreadsheet will be used to bulk load your organizational units using the link at the top of the page.
- Unit/Subunit: Some institutions have Divisions as a top-level unit, with Departments as a lower-level unit. If this is how your institution is organized, you can leave the Unit/Subunit selection as Division/Department. If your Departments are top-level units with Divisions underneath, select Department/Division.
- Title: This is the name of your department or division.
- Code: This is a unit identifier.
- Organizational Controls: Use the arrows to rearrange your units within the list. Click to delete your unit. Deleting a unit also deletes its subunits.
- Subunit List: This is a list of all subunits beneath the listed unit.
- Add Subunit: Click this button to add subunits beneath a unit.
