Editing the description of an organizational unit or organizational role

Change and format descriptions of organizational units and organizational roles and translate them into the content languages.

You can change and translate the description of an organizational unit or an organizational role. The procedure is the same for both; only what you select in step 1 differs.

Prerequisites

You meet the prerequisites described in Editing units and roles.

You are on the Organization page.

Context

You edit the description, for example to adapt it to a changed organization.

The description is always entered in the modeling language first. It can be translated into one of the content languages in order to display it to users in that language.

The description can be formatted.

How to proceed

1. In the organizational structure, click the organizational unit or, in the Organizational Roles section, click the role.

   The page of the organizational unit or the organizational role appears on the right.

2. To edit the description, click the edit icon next to the description.

   The page section for editing and translating the description appears.

3. Change the text in the description field; the formatting bar is displayed above it.

4. To translate the description, click the translate icon to the right of the Descriptions heading. It only appears if the process space has at least two content languages.

   The display switches to two-column mode.

5. Select the target language, enter the translation for the description and repeat the process to translate into further languages.

6. To confirm the changes, click OK.
