Structure

If you are the main supervisor of the organisation account, you have access to create the structure of the organisation’s project sites. There are two levels of project sites, and you define the project sites in units and subunits. The project sites shows in the application form in Prisma where the applicant can select a unit and a subunit. Prisma distributes the applications of the organisation to the project sites in the structure.

You can mirror the structure from the organisation structure to the responsibility areas for signing and reporting in Prisma. There are also settings for automatic distribution of the applications, to the units and subunits of the responsibility areas for signing and reporting.

General information on the structure of the organisation  

An example of the structure of applications and grant, in an organisation

The structure of the organisation controls which project sites the applying researchers can select in the application form. Two levels of units define the structure and the structure is a tool for the organisation to manage the applications in Prisma. Only the main supervisor of the organisation has permission to create and edit the structure of the organisation.

The responsibility areas for signing and reporting in Prisma can mirror the structure from the organisation structure. When you choose to mirror the structures, the units for the responsibility areas are identical to the organisation structure.
