Viewing and Deleting Parent Node Relationships
You can view the history of the relationships between the parent node and intermediate or leaf nodes. For a particular node, the History dialog shows the displays all of the parent relationships for the node, along with the start and end dates for each relationship. This provides a history of transitions for a particular node and can be useful if you need to correct a mistake that was made moving a node between parents. You can delete a relationship using the History dialog and re-add the node as necessary.
Note:To add and work with organizational structures, the user must also have a role with the View and Manage Org Structures permission.
Example
Suppose that node n1 was a child of parent p1 from January 1, 2010, through February 1, 2010. Then the node n1 was moved to parent p2 on February 1, 2010. In this example, the relationship history would be displayed as follows.
|
Name |
Parent |
Start Date |
End Date |
|
|
n1 |
p1 |
Jan 1, 2010 |
Feb 1, 2010 |

n1 |
p2 |

When deleting relationships, note the following:
| • | For intermediate nodes, if there is more than one row (showing more than one relationship), no Delete link is displayed. History cannot be deleted for the past for intermediate nodes; only for relationships scheduled to commence in the future. |
| • | When you delete the last row in history, the node moves back to the parent in the row immediately preceding the deleted row. and the end date for that row no longer contains a date. |
| • | If you delete the first row in history, all other rows are deleted and the node is moved to the unassigned pool. |
To view and delete parent node–leaf node relations:
| 1. | From the Reporting tab, under Organizational Structures, click Organizational Structures. |
| 2. | Click the name of the organizational structure to display the View Organizational Structure page. |
| 3. | For the node whose relation with the parent you want to view, click History. |
