Concepts: Understanding the Organisation Hierarchy in Turfpal

In Turfpal, the organisational hierarchy is designed to be flexible and adaptable to various operational structures. This allows organisations to tailor the system to their specific needs, whether they are small standalone entities or large enterprises with multiple layers of hierarchy.

Organisation Structure​

An Organisation in Turfpal can function in several ways:

  • Standalone Organisation: Operates independently without any parent or child organisations.
  • Parent Organisation: Can have multiple levels of child organisations beneath it. Each child organisation can further have its own children, creating a multi-level hierarchy.

Key Components of an Organisation​

Each organisation in Turfpal is composed of several critical components:

  • Sites: These represent the entire physical property or geographical area of an organisation.
  • Areas: Smaller sections within a site, used to manage different parts of the property more effectively.
  • Zones: The finest level of granularity, representing smaller portions of an area. Zones allow for precise management of turf and resources.

User Roles​

Organisations in Turfpal can have various user roles, including:

  • Administrators: Must have at least one, but can have multiple administrators responsible for overseeing the organisation.
  • Superusers: Users with elevated privileges, capable of managing most aspects of the organisation.
  • Users: Regular users who interact with the system based on the permissions assigned to them.

Teams​

Each organisation can have multiple Teams. A team is a group of users within the organisation who work together or interact with each other. Teams are vital for coordinating tasks and ensuring smooth operations.

Equipment, Warehouses, and Departments​

An organisation may manage a large amount of:

  • Equipment: Various tools and machinery used in turf management.
  • Warehouses/Storage Facilities: Locations where equipment, products, and other resources are stored.
  • Departments: Different operational units within the organisation, each with specific roles and responsibilities.

Organisation Complexity​

The complexity of an organisation in Turfpal can vary greatly. Some may operate with a simple structure, while others may require a more intricate setup, with multiple levels of hierarchy, extensive equipment management, and a vast array of user roles and teams.
