In the Organization units view, you can explore and define organization units (OUs) as part of your professional IT environment. Each part of an organization should have their own IT resources. By mirroring an actual organization's structure into organization units you can easily request inventory jobs for specific parts. Synchronize the list of organization units with changes in your real organization to better manage your IT landscape.
The organization units are managed in a tree hierarchy. Each can have at most one parent but multiple children. There can be no circular relationships.
In this view, you can perform the following actions:
•add new organization units,
•remove redundant organization units,
•assign icons to organization units,
•explore your current environment,
•edit organization unit descriptions,
•determine the parent organization unit, and
•inspect, add and remove assigned devices.

In the above picture you can see sample business facilities registered, along with their description. Use self-explanatory names and insightful descriptions to help IT management recognize the gravity and importance of the organization's parts.
