Organizations

Tracking “Organizations” within IQS serves two purposes. First, people within the database are associated with an “Organization.” Reports and training analysis can be done on groups of people belonging to the same organizations. Secondly, the organizations are also used to assign IQS users Organizational Level Access (OLAs). OLAs give users access to subsets of data within IQS. For example, the user “smithj” may be given the ability to view or edit only those persons within one of the organizations tracked by IQS.

 

NOTE: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS IS A CRITICAL FACTOR IN THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF IQS.

 

Six fields can be used to define an organization.  From this screen, all organizations can be edited by selecting the State-NWCG or Org Level from the drop down.

 

Considerations such as statewide, regional, or jurisdictional boundaries, or location of facilities may be used when determining your organizational structure. People within the IQS system can be grouped into organizations for the purpose of querying and reporting. Consideration should be given to how the data, reports, and access to the data will be needed, when developing the organizational structure.

 

Each person in the IQS system must be associated with each level's organization code.  The value [Placeholder] is available when assigning organization levels to an individual and is used to indicate the person is not associated with a specific level of the organization.

 

NOTE: Clicking the mouse on most of the column headings will allow the user to sort that column by ascending Ascending or descending Descending order.
