Switch organization
Anyone who belongs to several organizations chooses under “Switch organization” in the overview which one to work in.
Purpose
Consultants, holding companies or employees of several companies often belong to several organizations. Switching keeps their knowledge cleanly separated: you always work in only one organization at a time.
How it works
- Open “Overview” in the left column.
- Under “Switch organization”, choose the organization you want.
- Click “Switch”. The name and the features on the left now belong to the chosen organization.
- Microphone only after your click
- Four-eyes principle
- Data in Frankfurt am Main
- Every approval in the log
Fig. 1 Roles and departments determine who may read which visibility scope; the database checks this on every access.
When the switch appears
The “Switch organization” field only appears if you belong to at least two organizations. Further organizations are added through invitations.
Remembered for this browser
Universe Memory remembers the chosen organization in this browser for up to one year. Only organizations you belong to can be chosen; any other value is ignored. In each organization, your role there applies.
Tips
Check the name of the organization at the top left before you capture knowledge.
