Administrators can set up a filing group so that the attributes, such as components, in a child unit will appear in the parent unit. Parent units have automation settings; child units do not. A child unit uses the same automation settings and attributes as those of the parent unit; therefore, a child unit has the same automation settings and attributes as those of the parent unit.

 

•A unit can remain a parent unit, or it can be designated as a child of another parent unit.

•When you designate a unit as a parent unit, it cannot be deactivated.

•Filing group reports show the results of the relationship with other units.
