Business Areas within Insight are areas within an organisation who may be impacted by a change. They are managed from within an Organisation in Insight. 

Business Areas are created using a ‘tree structure’ within Insight, to represent different levels within the organisation. 

Note: Care should be taken when deleting Business Areas as they will typically be connected to a number of Stakeholders, Projects and Impacts. 

Within Business Areas you can:

  • create top level and sub Business Areas

  • change the name of Business Areas - you can do this using the Edit (Pencil) button next to the Business Area you wish to change

  • delete Business Areas - you can do this using the Bin button next to the Business Area you wish to delete.
