DIRECTORY SERVICES

Corporate hierarchies
You can categorize a Person document in the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory by a corporate hierarchy. When an IBM® Lotus® Notes® user clicks the Address button to select the name in the Person document from a Domino Directory, or uses the Find People search tool to find the name, the user can view the name by the assigned Corporate Hierarchy.

You can categorize user names in any way you want in a corporate hierarchy. For example, you might categorize users by company division:

Marketing

Kaplan, Judy

Spera, Phyllis

Research and development

Burke, Kathy

Murphy, Bob

You can assign a user to up to six subcategories below a top-level category. For example, the following corporate hierarchy sorts each user by one subcategory below a top-level company division category.
