Location Module

The Location module allows you to navigate between business units within your company. ARCOS uses a four-tiered location hierarchy , which is used to place employees in logical groups for assigning them to rosters and managing callouts easily. The Location module also has a search function that allows you to search for locations.

Generally speaking, Level 1 is the parent company, Level 2 contains regional offices, Level 3 is the division or district offices, and Level 4 is the operating office. These level field labels are customizable and can be tailored for each customer. Typically, the Level 4 location is an area where employees are grouped by either geographical location or business function. Each Level 4 location has employees assigned to that location.

• Level 1: Parent Company.

• Level 2: Business Unit - possibly regional offices for the company.

• Level 3: Division - possibly district offices for the company.

• Level 4: OpCenter - possibly division, operating offices, or the barn. The level at which employees are assigned.

The names provided here for the levels are examples only and can be changed for each customer.
