A structure is used to organize the platform by hierarchically grouping objects (projects, resources, etc.) or users. Hierarchies
Enables rights management and localization/partitioning of access to certain objects. This is known as a structure link.
Example: the geography structure contains continents on level 1, countries on level 2 and cities on level 3.
It is possible to associate a structure with a user group to restrict rights. By default, an object has unrestricted access, but if it is attached to a user group, only users belonging to this group can use the object.

No view is available for this or subsequent screens.
The project structure code (HIER_PROJET) must not be modified.
If an object is linked, then by default it is not visible to users who do not have the right to use the object specifically on its structure link perimeter. To make an attached object visible to users, they must have general or role role rights to the object's structure link perimeter.

Creating and modifying a structure
The screens for creating and modifying a structure are similar, except for the presence or absence of data.
This screen is divided into 5 tabs:
The tab to be filled in first when creating a structure is Hierarchies - structure sheet tabThen the levels must be completed, and finally the structure values.
To the left of each page is a hierarchy list pane, which lists the hierarchies created on the platform. You can modify another structure by clicking on its blue label in the list. The pane can be enlarged or reduced in size, and closed.
Values tab
This tab is used to create level values for a structure.
For example, a first level structure Geography
can be Continent
a second level Country
a third level City
...
A first level value Continent
can be Africa

Deleting a structure value
A pop-up window appears, asking you to confirm the deletion.
It is possible to link a structure value to another structure value (of another structure). For example, I can link a Project Monitor Implementation structure value to my Strasbourg structure value simply by clicking on the value's name.
The project structure code (HIER_PROJET) must not be modified.

What is a structure profile?
The structure profile is used to assign a hierarchical role to a user.
Each structure value can be selected with a click, and Assign to select users for a structure role Roles
Users can be selected in the left-hand pane. A quick search is available.
Users will find their structure profiles defined here in the information screens for each user.
