What is an organizational unit tree and why not hard-code departments?
March 18, 2026 · Jogajog team · 2 min read
Quick answer: A unit tree is a generic hierarchy that models departments, chapters, batches or committees at any depth. Jogajog never hard-codes “Department”, so associations and alumni bodies fit as naturally as companies.
How it works
Units can be created, renamed, moved and archived as the organization evolves, with members and history moving along.
Unit heads are flagged and always listed first, so members instantly know who to approach.
The tree powers audience targeting, notice scoping and per-unit handbook visibility.
Frequently asked questions

As deep as your organization needs — there is no fixed level limit.
What happens when we restructure?
Move the unit; its members, notices and history follow automatically.
