Why It Matters
ANVL reporting and assignments follow a defined hierarchy
Understanding the hierarchy helps prevent misconfiguration
Group Tags are applied within this structure to support rollups
When to Use This
Getting familiar with how ANVL is structured
Planning site setup or re-organization
Reviewing reporting relationships
ANVL Hierarchy (Conceptual)
ANVL uses the following hierarchy:
Organization (Business)
Group = Site
Supervisor
User
How Groups Fit in the Hierarchy
A Group represents a physical or logical site
Users are assigned to one or more Groups
Supervisors connect Users for reporting purposes
Groups are the level at which:
Workflows are deployed
Categories are configured
Reporting begins
Important Clarifications
Hierarchy structure itself is not configurable
Organizational rollups are achieved using Group Tags
Group Tags describe where a site belongs within your organization
For details on how to use Group Tags to model your hierarchy, see Group (Site) Tags.
Watch Out For…
Group hierarchy is flat by default
Rollups require consistent tagging
Re-organizing sites may impact reporting and integrations
What You Should See
ANVL Groups aligned at the site level
Group Tags used to model organizational hierarchy and reporting rollups
User Tags applied where individual-level metadata is needed
Work Folders (if applicable) used to support additional hierarchy levels and aggregation
