# Set up Org Unit Types

Lanteria HR system can use several levels of hierarchy in the company's organizational structure. To do this, a separate organizational unit type (also referred to as org unit type) for each level should be created. For example, teams (level 3) can be united into groups (level 2) that in turn can be parts of large divisions (level 1). You can create as many levels of hierarchy as you need.

Follow these steps to create org unit types:

1. Go to **Settings > Settings and Configuration > Core HR**.
2. Click **Org Structure** in the left panel and click **Edit** next to the **Org Unit Types** setting name on the **Advanced** tab.

  1. **Organizational Unit Type** field holds the unit type name.
  2. **Level** field defines the unit level in the company hierarchy.
  3. **No Direct Employees** check box is used if this unit type is created for grouping purposes only and is not supposed to have direct employees. Select this check box to prevent the system from assigning employees to organizational units of this type.
  4. **Manager** **Title** field defines the title of the manager's position for this unit type.
  5. Click **Save** to create a new unit type or cave the changes to the existing one.
