The OVIDENTIA organization charts are coupled with the directory function and can be built from user groups already existing in the portal.

The validation WorkFlow in OVIDENTIA can use the functions defined in the organization charts. In this case the validation schemes are called "by function" compared with "by name" schemes where user names are specified in the schema.

The general interface for this module is shown above.
