Frontline Portal Admin - Organizational management
Updated

Quinyx operates using two types of hierarchies: unit hierarchy and collaboration groups. Employees are assigned to units, and these units (or individual users) are linked to collaboration groups. Collaboration groups manage the user experience within the Frontline Portal, determining factors like content access and distribution.
Configuring and using the Quinyx Admin portal is a multi-step process.
- Organizational management: Create your organization in the Quinyx Admin portal.
- Collaboration Group management: Set up collaboration groups to structure your teams and associate units to collaboration groups to organize your workforce by units.
- User management: Associate employees to collaboration groups to ensure they are assigned to the correct groups.
- Role and permission management: Define and control user access by setting up roles, editing permissions, and managing staff categories.
Organizational structure
The diagram below illustrates the organizational structure and hierarchy within the Quinyx platform. It shows how employees are organized into districts and units, which are further grouped into collaboration groups. These collaboration groups are crucial in determining the user experience in the Frontline Portal, such as controlling access to content and distribution options. The diagram highlights two distinct hierarchies, unit and collaboration groups, demonstrating how various entities like HQ, managers, and stores are interconnected.
The company’s organizational structure is often a good starting point for setting up your configuration. However, you may need to make some adjustments to achieve the specific permission levels you want in Quinyx. The structure in Quinyx doesn’t need to match your company’s actual organizational structure exactly.
