Draw the company
Your places, and who answers for each one. Every place is a rung you can hand to somebody; tick two or more to put them in a group above them.
What do you want to do?
- Add a place your people work: the box below. Give it a name, and an address if you have one.
- Put places together into a region, a contract, a night shift, whatever it is: tick two or more on the ladder and press Put them together.
- Add a level you do not have yet: the box below, and pick a new level of my own under "as a". You say what it is called.
- Add something inside one thing: press Add inside on its own row. It fills the box below in for you.
- Hand one to somebody: press Assign somebody on its row. They get a link and see that rung and everything under it, and nothing else.
1. Add your places
Loading.
Not sure of the address? Look it up on Google Maps, then paste it back here. That opens a tab of your own: nothing is sent from here until you press it.
A place is anywhere your people work: a store, a site, a depot, a ward, a truck. Write the address however you would write it. When a town 20/20 already knows appears in it, the place is pinned there and the region comes with it, from a list that ships with the app: nothing about your company is looked up anywhere. Everything above your places is built from them.
How a rung reaches a person Read it
Every rung on the ladder has one link of its own. Send a rung's link to one person: they sign in with it and they are the manager of that rung. They see that rung and everything under it, and nothing else, ever.
A second person means a second rung, with its own link. That is the whole model: you are not giving out accounts, you are handing out rungs. A rung takes one person, so a link that has been used is spent, and "Hand it to somebody else" mints a fresh one and kills the old.
Hand out none of them and you stay the only person who sees anything, which is where you started.
What this company calls its own levels Change them
One box per level you have, smallest first, in your own words. Leave one empty to keep the word your industry already uses. The word is only a word: it changes no count, no desk and nothing an alarm does.
How many levels there are is not set here, and there is no number to pick. Put things inside other things on the ladder below and a level appears when something is on it. Two levels or ten, whichever the company is.
2. Put them in groups, and hand them out
Every row does four things. Add inside puts something new under that one. Assign somebody hands it over. Move puts it under a different rung, and Rename is a rename. To make a group, tick two or more and press Put them together: a group is whatever you say it is, a region, a contract, a night shift, a franchise, one manager's patch, and it only exists once something is in it.
Loading the ladder.
Shortcut: group them by region in one press Open
ONE way to group places, for a company that is cut by geography. Most are not, and nothing here has to be used: put things inside other things on the ladder and call them whatever they are. Both buttons only add: nothing is deleted, nothing is renamed, and a place you put somewhere by hand stays there, so either one is safe to press twice.
Changed your mind?
The first makes one group for each region you actually work in. The second makes one for every region the country has, worked in or not.
Every change here takes effect immediately. Moving a place changes where its answers are read, past and future; the answers themselves never move and never change. A place is renamed, disabled or given a printed poster under Company settings.
