Explanation

A department in E-Care is kind of virtual entity. It can be a building, a floor or a group of floors or a group of rooms and so on.

Create Department

The structure is of type Parent (department) -> sub-parent and each of them can have children called Objects.

On the Institution list, select menu E-Care | Department. On the page, the top part lists departments and sub-departments, and the bottom part lists the objects for each selected department or sub-department.

Create your structure here, like the following example: You have 2 stations in your building, the first one is on floor level with 4 rooms, the second is on second level with 3 rooms and the rooftop with 2 rooms.

Create the following departments and sub-departments:

Department Station 1, no parent department

Department Floor Level, with parent department = Station 1

Department Station 2, no parent department

Department Level 2, with parent department = Station 2

Department Rooftop, with parent department = Station 2

Create Objects

Now select department floor Level (from main level Station 1):

Create the following objects (rooms):

• R001 as Room 1
• R002 as Room 2
• R003 as Room 3
• R004 as Room 4

Now select department Level 2 (from main level Station 2):

Create:

• R021 as Room 21
• R022 as Room 22
• R023 as Room 23

Now select department Rooftop (from main level Station 2):

Create:

• R031 as Room 31
• R032 as Room 32
