Define District (Root Organization) details
When you implement Aspen, you need to edit the details
for your root . You can only
have one root organization set up in Aspen. All other organizations are
intermediate organizations.
To define your district’s (root organization)
details:
- Log on to the District
view.
- Click the District tab.
- On the Setup
side-tab, click Details.
- Use the
following table to complete the fields:
-
|
Follett customer ID
|
|
|
Identifier
|
Type the identifier for the district.
|
|
Name
|
Type the district’s
name. This name appears at the top of every page in the system and
on every report. |
|
Phone 1, Phone 2
|
Type the district phone numbers. |
|
Address line 1,
Address line 2,
Address line 3
|
Type the district addresses. |
|
Time zone
|
Click the Time zone drop-down to select the
time zone that most closely matches the time zone for your parent
organization.
|
Note: This
will usually be the time zone where your server is located and acts as
the default time zone for the system. Intermediate organizations will
default to this time zone if a time zone is not specified in the organization's
details. If time zones are not set for the root organization or intermediate
organizations, the server's default time zone is used.
|
|
- Click the SIF
Configuration sub-tab to define your district's
details.
- Click Save.
|
Note: In
Aspen's online Help, 'District'
is frequently used for the root organization, which is the default name
of the organization. However, you can change the name of the root organization
on the Admin tab >Organization Definitions>Details.
You can also name all Intermediate organizations here. These names become
the tab and view names.
