Promote user attributes and alert folders

During migration, you specify at which level the custom attributes and alert folders are defined: at the system, enterprise, or suborganization level. If only a small group of users in a suborganization needs access to an attribute, it should be handled locally. However, for most user attributes or alert folders, the system or enterprise level is the typical location.
To promote custom attributes, complete the following steps:
  1. Open the Enterprise Migrator tool and click
    User Attributes
    .
  2. Determine how many instances there are of an attribute at the suborganization and enterprise organization level and promote if it seems efficient. If you promote an attribute to the enterprise level, it is promoted from all the suborganizations within that enterprise.
  3. Select the attribute name.
  4. Verify that you want to promote the attribute. You cannot undo this step.
    Verify the attributes you want to promote
  5. Click
    Promote to Enterprise
     or
    Promote to System
     to move them up to a higher level.
    Promote an attribute from suborganization to Enterprise if the entire enterprise needs to use the attribute. Keep the attribute in a suborganization if you want to restrict access to a single organization. For example, promote a general attribute like
    DepartmentName
     to  enterprise because each employee needs to be grouped in a department. Alternatively, keep an attribute like
    SoftballTeam
     at the suborganization level because its members have joined a lunchtime league.
  6. Click
    Alert Folders
    .
  7. Select an alert folder type to promote, and click
    Promote to Enterprise
     or
    Promote to System
     based on what types of alerts certain personnel should see.
    For example, promote an alert folder like
    FireDrills
     from suborganization to enterprise if the entire enterprise needs to receive alerts from that alert folder. Keep the alert folder like
    ExecutiveSafety
     at suborganization if you want to restrict access to operators and users that have a need to know.
  8. Save your changes.
You have completed the reorganization.
