## Purpose of the org chart

## Org chart items

**Organizational chart items** are used to describe the hierarchy in the company. In BRIX there are three types of items: **job position**, **group, **and **department**.

|------|------|
| **(OC5.PNG)** | **Job position**. You can select only one employee for a job position. For example, CEO, chief accountant, secretary, etc.; |
| **(OC6.PNG)** | **Group**. Defines a group of users with common job responsibilities. |
| **(OC7.PNG)** | **Department**. Consists of an unlimited number of employees and one department head. Inside the department, you can create groups of employees and individual job positions. |

You can also reorder the items belonging to one level of hierarchy by clicking **[![up](up.png)]** or **[![down](down.png)]**. This will not change the hierarchy but the order in which the items are displayed in the org chart.
