Organisation selection - inconsistency in Field View database

The sharing of a common database of organisations with other non-Mace users of Field View is inefficient. Due to inconsistency Mace have had to tag organisations (with a # mark) to ensure internally we only select he same organisations across projects. This also means that the task of assigning organisations to projects is undertaken by a central team rather than project administrators. It would be more efficient for Mace (and probably other FV customers) if we could create our own 'Mace' list of organisations for project administrators to choose from.

    Agree the list needs to be managed at the BU level with ability to push to the system list if desired and pull from the system list if desired.  Or you need you require registration number or TIN and link them that way.

    This is exactly the same at VINCI construction. The other problem we have had recently is when we want to change our list. We cant delete / edit because another company might be using our entries?! So we have to enter a new one from scratch which just adds to the library size and means we have to keep thinking of new suffixes! Should be a managed list at the business level.

    Totally agree. Organisations should be an enterprise list rather than a system library. Please get this changed asap.

    Agree totally with this. The system library organisation list was a lazy development creation. Each business should have their own supply chain database that they can manage and analyse though Field View. The current situation forces inefficient workarounds as described above and additional expense and complications  of third parties like Sempre
