Organization Maintenance Help

Organizations define a group of related users. For example, you may define an Organization for all your internal staff members or you may define an Organization for each department. You may define an Organization for all your customers and you further define an Organization for each customer. When each User is defined they must belong to an already defined Organization. An Organization can have any number of users belonging to it. Any number of those users can be assigned administrative privileges to administer the Organization and it's users. 

The highest level of Organization is the '(MASTER)' Organization. The system administration user belongs to the '(MASTER)' Organization and has administrative privileges for the '(MASTER)' Organization and all the Organizations that belong to it. The '(MASTER)' Organization cannot be deleted. 

All Organizations belong to the Organization hierarchy. The hierarchy starts with the '(MASTER)' Organization, then 1st level Organizations whose 'Parent' Organization is the '(MASTER)', then 2nd level Organizations whose 'Parent' Organizations are the 1st level Organizations. Thus, Organizations take on a parent-child relationship. The hierarchical structure provides a great deal of order and flexibility to the User privileges and administration model. 

To add a new Organization enter the new unique Organization ID and click the Add button.  The Organization Maintenance form will display. Complete the form and click Save to save the new Organization.

To search for an Organization, select to search by Organization ID, Name or Application ID, enter an exact or partial match to search for and click Search.

To view, change or delete an existing Organization on the search list click the Organization's ID.  You can then modify the Organization's definition and click Save or you can click Delete to remove the organization.
WARNING: Deleting an Organization also deletes all it's users and their options!

Organization file field definitions : 

Organization ID 
The Organization ID can be up to 8 characters in length and can consist of alphanumeric characters, comma, period, dash and underscore only. The ID is the unique identifier of the Organization and is case sensitive. 

Parent Organization ID 
The Organization ID to which the Organization is a 'child' of. First level organizations would have '(MASTER)' as their Parent Organization ID. Organization Name Up to 30 characters to describe the Organization such as a department name or company name. 

Application ID 
Up to 20 characters to define the existing applications code or ID for this Organization, such as a customer code, vendor code or company number. This can then be used by the custom application to tie an Organization to a particular application code. Where possible it is suggested to also use the existing application ID for your Organization ID. 

View ID 
Must be a valid View ID in the View Definitions. The View Definitions allow you to define different user interfaces. The interface that a particular user receives is then determined by which View ID is assigned to the Organization they belong to. The default View ID is 'dxstd'. 

Prelink 
Application related, the Prelink field is a string that is to be processed before processing a dL4 or Unibasic Option Link. Typically this is used to set environment variables such as LUMAP and LUST prior to processing the option. This is a default Prelink for any option that is run by this Organization's Users. A Prelink can also be defined by Option in the Option definition. The Option Prelink string overrides the Organization Prelink string. The Prelink string can be up to 254 characters in length. 

Exit URL 
The Exit URL defines the URL (web page) to go to upon existing or logging off DynamicXport. It is typically a URL to a home page. If blank DynamicXport defaults to the (MASTER) Organization's Exit URL. The field is up to 60 characters in length. 

IP Range 
For enhanced security, users belonging to an organization can be limited to using DynamicXport only from defined IP's or IP ranges. If not within one of these IP 's or ranges the user will be denied access to the system. Full IP addresses must be entered. IP ranges are entered as beginning IP address, dash, ending IP address. Multiple definitions are separated by semi-colons. An example is : 201.201.170.115-201.201.170.120;201.201.180.210 Up to 254 characters can be used to define the ranges. 

IP Verify 
This is an indicator which determines how a user is to be handled if their IP number changes during their DynamicXport session. This could be an indication of spoofing or it could be valid if the user is accessing via wireless or has a dynamic IP. Typically this would be defined as 'Deny' which would deny access if the IP number changes. Validate would require the user to revalidate themselves and then continue the session. 

Multiple Sessions 
This is an indicator which determines if the user is permitted to have multiple simultaneous sessions. Multiple sessions may be desired in the case of a shared or general login. If multiple sessions is not allowed and the Verify indicator is verify then a user cannot have multiple sessions but can resume an existing session from another location if the session is not expired. 

User Defined 1-5 
There are five 60 character fields available for storing information about the organization that would facilitate further linking the organization to the web page or application or to store information about the organization that is not available in the application.
