4. In the New Type panel, complete the following fields:
   • Hierarchy Order — Controls the order in which the types appear in the tree.
   • A recommended practice is to create hierarchy order incrementally by 10 or 100 to allow for future growth or changes to the organization's Business Structure.
   • Name — The name of the organizational level in your enterprise; for example, region, division, store, area and department.
   Note: The name must be unique between the type's effective date and expiration date.
   • (Optional) Description — The description that further defines the organizational level.
   • Location Category — Specify if the location type is a Site or a Department (or leave the selection blank if you do not need to specify a location category).
     Caution:

     • Location category is required for use with forecasting. If you are using (or plan to use) forecasting, complete this field.
     • To create work units of the Department type for Healthcare Analytics, you must specify that the location type is Department. See the Configure Work Units topic.
   • Effective Date — Select the date when the type becomes valid. The default is the Beginning of time, but can be changed to a date in the future.
   • Expiration Date — Select the date when the type is no longer valid. The default is Forever, but can be changed to a date in the future.

2. Select Manage > Types.
3. Select a type, and click Update .

You can edit the Hierarchy Order, Name, and Description without effective dating. All other updates require effective dating (the current date or a date in the future).

When you make an update using effective dating (including the name and description) a revision is created. If you do not want a revision made, meaning you do not want the type to exist after the expiration date, then select the Last revision for this location check box. The Forever check box must be deselected to view this option. See Revisions for more information.

5. Gaps in a type's effective dates are not allowed if there are locations assigned to the type during that time.

Note: The only edits you can make in the past are for Hierarchy Order, Name, and Description.
