ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a software system that allows users to model an organizational structure in substantially anyway they wish. The system then provides functionality that allows an administrator to associate users and data to the defined organizational structure, in a flexible way. In one embodiment, an organizational tree component allows the user to configure an organizational tree having nodes corresponding to business units. The business unit nodes are illustratively containers of filters which, themselves, contain filter links. The filter links are links to business entities that are associated with the business unit identified by the node on the organizational tree structure.
