Unit Maintenance

Overview of DDI11

Unit Maintenance is utilized by organizations having regional staff whose security should be limited based on their geographic location. Unit Maintenance must be configured before regional security can be set up. Please note: This procedure requires that you have access to the DDI Connect System Administration menu. If you do not have the necessary access, please contact your organization's DDI Connect System Administrator or call DDI Client Support for assistance.

NOTE: If you have system administrator access, you can also access units by clicking Admin and selecting Units

To set up units:

• From the DDI Connect main menu, double-click Supervisor Menu
• Double-click System Administration. You will see this screen:

To access the Units screen, double-click the Units icon. You will see this screen:

Click the New button. The Unit Properties screen launches:

There are three fields on this screen:

Field	Description
Unit	A numeric code identifying the unit
Abbrev	This is not a required field. Organizations who utilize this field use it to quickly identify a type of unit. For example, if you have a large region with multiple units, and you want to quickly identify all associated units, you might use an abbreviation for each of them, such as "AK" for Alaska. That way, you can sort by abbreviation and see all units associated with Alaska
Name	A short, alphanumeric description of the unit

When you have entered the information, click OK to save. You can now continue adding additional units or click Exit to leave the screen.
