3. The design of the hierarchy is all about the end, the to Reporting.
We are aggregating data up. THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY DOES THIS FOR YOU. However, you do have to create the structure to communicate that to the system
Big use – mapping and data aggregation. The Orgunits relate to coordinates
The design of the hierarchy is all about the end, the to Reporting.
We start with the lowest level and work our way up to the purpose, the Reports
IMPORTANT - where are you collecting the data? And how do you aggregate data or disaggregate data geographically? Based on your answers, you would create structure. Most of the time, the first couple of layers predefined either by government or otherwise
Because all that data will eventually be aggregated to create reports, maps, be evaluated, sent off to funders, partners and so on
Based on geography and used for data entry

6. New shot of Ontario. Regions that make up the disctrict of central Ontario. Group northern region and show on map. This is a group we decided to create. They are at similar levels in terms of the hierarchy of orgunits. But now we can pull them up to see them in a report all at once
Orgunits need to be grouped in order to be shown in a GIS. In any other form of reports such as pivot tables or a line graph, you can select the group rather than selecting orgunits separately. More efficient.
