Level 2 represents a Vice President or major organization structure.

Level 3 is designed to be the approval level for each department. At UNH this typically is the BSC responsible for the area. At KSC and PSU some additional granulation was required which places their routing at level 4. This is also the level where sub-campuses such as UNHF become identified.

LevelÌý4 through 8 will allow for additional sub-groupings within the organizational units. Some uses of Level 5 through 8 could be for Principal Investigator orgs, programs, and other sub-departmental groupings.

Each of the lower levels is controlled or responsible to the org defined as it's predecessor. Ultimately, all orgs will lead back to one of the level 1 orgs. Approvals routing is based on a combination of level 3 and level 4 orgs.

Further stratification of detail may be obtained through the use of activity codes, rather than additional organizations.
