OrgUnitType propertiesProperty | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Type | String | Key field Usually an abbreviation of the name - e.g. "hosp" for "Hospital" |
Name | String | The name displayed in the user interface - singular form, e.g. "Hospital" |
NamePlur | String | The name displayed in the user interface - plural form, e.g. "Hospitals" |
DisplayAncestor | String | The type of some other OrgUnitType object, that identifies the ancestor used to construct the full name (property FullName) of the OrgUnit. When DisplayAncestor is blank, OrgUnit.FullName will have same value as OrgUnit.Name When DisplayAncestor is NOT blank, the system will locate the ancestor with the given type, and concatenat the name of this ancestor to the front of the OrgUnit in question, and return this concatenaed string as the value of OrgUnit.FullName. The reationale behind this is, that e.g. hospital departments may may very generic names e.g. "Medical department" or "Surgical department". To display such departments it is usefull, if the hospital name is prepended, e.g. "First hospital, Medical department" and "Second hospital, Medical department". |
ClassName | String | Used to group OrgUnitType objects with access permissions. Users employed by an OrgUnit in a class may not edit assign permissions in any other class to users. This may be used to define some permissions as usable for central users and other permisison as usable for decantral users. I.e. a user employed centrally may not assign decentral permissions to users - and the other way round. |
Hidden | Boolean | Hidden in hierarchy |
IsInstitution | Boolean | Institution status. Setting institution status on a specific level in the organization, enables some extra functionality at that level. Example:
