Adjusting Your Organizational Structure via Excel File

As an Admin, you can set up or organize your academy hierarchy using an excel file.

First, you need to download the template that will be used to set up or modify your organizational structure.

Select Academy Admin in the workspace launcher. Under the Organization on the left, select Set Up Organization .

   

Select the Units tab and then click Download Template.

The downloaded Excel template consists of seven sheets or tabs.

  1. Create Unit: Add the names of units you want to create.
    WARNING: Be careful to not use the same Unit name more than once. Add a distinguishing delineator to help you determine which Unit is which. For example, "Operations - SF" and "Operations - LA".
  2. Create Above Unit: Add the names and types of the above units you want to create.
  3. Delete Unit: Add the names of the Units that you want to be deleted. They should already exist in your Academy's hierarchy. To make it easier, download your existing hierarchy using the Excel button under the template buttons.
    If you have two or more Units with the same name in your Academy, this will not delete any of them. You will need to manually delete them.
  4. Delete Above Unit: Add the names and types of the Above Units that you want to be deleted. They should already exist in your Academy's hierarchy. To make it easier, download your existing hierarchy using the Excel button under the template buttons.
    If you have two or more Above Units with the same name in your Academy, this will not delete any of them. You will need to manually delete them.
  5. Rename Unit: Add the existing names of the Units and their replacement names. To make it easier, download your existing hierarchy using the Excel button under the template buttons.
    If you have two or more Units with the same name in your Academy, this will not rename any of them. You will need to manually rename them.
  6. Rename Above Unit: Add the names and types of the Above Units that already exists in your Academy's hierarchy and their replacement names. To make it easier, download your existing hierarchy using the Excel button under the template buttons.
    If you have two or more Above Units with the same name in your Academy, this will not rename any of them. You will need to manually rename them.
  7. Relations: Add the names of the Units and the names and types of the Above Units with which the Units should be connected.
    When adjusting relations between Above Units and Units, it is recommend selecting the Excel button below the template option. This will give you a view and naming of all your Units and their already existing connections. When connecting via this column, the exact Unit name needs to be used, and this is a good way to prevent frustration.
