Answer
ANVL uses a fixed organizational hierarchy that determines how access, reporting, assignments, and visibility flow through the platform.
At a high level, the hierarchy is:
Organization → Group → Supervisor → User
Each level has a specific role:
Organization = your overall ANVL environment
Group = a site, facility, region, or operational unit
Supervisor = the reporting and accountability relationship between people
User = the individual person completing work or reviewing data
This hierarchy is not customizable. ANVL does not use nested Group structures for rollups. Instead, rollups are created using Group Tags and, when needed, User Tags.
Steps
Review the hierarchy in the Admin Portal
Open the ANVL Admin Portal.
Review Group Management to understand how Groups are structured.
Review User Management to understand how users, supervisors, and Group assignments connect.
Confirm how Groups fit into the hierarchy
Verify what each Group represents in your organization.
Confirm users are assigned to the correct Group(s).
Confirm supervisors are assigned correctly for reporting and accountability.
Review Group Tags to make sure rollup logic matches your organizational structure.

Understand how the hierarchy is used
Groups are where workflows are deployed.
Groups are where assignments are scoped.
Workflow submissions are tied to a Group.
Reports and dashboards are filtered and aggregated by Group.
Group Tags support rollups across regions, programs, or business units.
User Tags can be used when additional person-level reporting attributes are needed.
Standard Power BI report filters showing Group mapped to Site and Job Title sourced from User Tags; additional hierarchy or custom filtering can be configured using Group or User Tags—contact your Benchmark Gensuite point of contact for customization needs.
Important clarifications
The ANVL hierarchy itself is fixed.
Organizational rollups are created through tags, not through nested Groups.
In organizations using other Benchmark Gensuite applications, it is usually best to align ANVL Groups with corresponding Benchmark Gensuite sites when possible.
Misalignment in Group structure or tagging can create reporting, assignment, and integration issues.
