Every campaign belongs to one organisation, and every organisation sits under Global.

OrganisationWhat it's for
GlobalCreating organisations, managing users, shared defaults and scripts
Any otherIts own campaigns, settings, variables and subdomain

Here, Global holds Lindenhall Shopping Centre, Lindenhall Riverside and a set of brand organisations.

Enterprise Settings Organizations tab listing Lindenhall Riverside, Lindenhall Shopping Centre, Global and five BrandCo organisations

Choose the boundary

Give a team its own organisation when it needs its own people, its own links and contact details, its own subdomain, or a different language or timezone.

With one per venue, each shopping centre runs its own campaigns.

Global
  • Lindenhall Shopping Centre
  • Lindenhall Riverside
  • Lindenhall Northgate

One organisation per shopping centre

With one per country, teams, campaigns and reporting follow geography.

Global
  • Lindenhall UK
  • Lindenhall France
  • Lindenhall Spain

One organisation per country

A country team that oversees several venues works across them with one account: see Multi-org access.

What an organisation can take from its parent

SettingInherited?
General (name, timezone, language, links)Yes, with Inherit from parent
Notifications (email sender, header and footer)Yes, with its own Inherit from parent
Authentication (participants' double opt-in)Yes, when set to Inherit: see Double opt-in email verification
VariablesNo: each organisation keeps its own
DomainNo: each organisation sets its own
ScriptsSet once, in Global, for every organisation

Global's General Settings has more tabs than an organisation's Organization Settings: Organizations, Users, Themes, Scripts, Functions and Webhooks are only there.

When you move a template from one organisation to another, check the new organisation's variables, subdomain, language and timezone.
