How do I create communication structures?

1. Navigate to the Organisation Chart window. 
2. Click the Communication Structures button at the bottom of the window.  The Communication Structure definition window appears.
   

     Note:

   The default structure is called Line Managers. This represents the structure of the Organisation Chart, in terms of the managing Posts. This is identical to what you will see in the Post records, where a field called Post Reports To indicates which is the managing post. Line Managers is a fixed definition and cannot be edited, as it represents the structure of the Organisation Chart itself. If you need to make changes to the default reporting structure, you can either edit the Organisation Units directly in the Organisation Chart via the Unit Mgmt History button or within the Post records.

3. Click the New button.  The New Communication Structure form appears.
4. Enter the Structure Name. 
5. Select the Include Additional Roles option, if necessary. 
   

     Note:

   This option relates to the Additional Role? option in the employee's Post History record. Normally, additional roles are ignored by the Self-Service system, but if you select Include Additional Roles in the Communication Structure definition, then managers of any additional roles will also be sent emails regarding authorisation of holiday requests.

6. Click the Next button. The Communication Structure Rules window appears.
   
7. Apply one of the following rules:
