I/ Definition


When you log in to OOTI, you connect to a billing entity.

This entity has its own SIRET, that is to say with its own turnover, its projects, its costs, its finances, its team.

Does your company have several own entities, each with its SIRET, its turnover, its projects?

If yes, then you can add multiple entities on OOTI. You will be able to navigate through the entities. You will have the global vision, of the "holding", the synthesis of all the entities on the part turnover, costs, margin...

Your collaborators will be able to access or not the other entities, it is a permission that you will have to give them.

Adding an entity does not generate an additional cost in your subscription.

If your company has several agencies but which are under the same SIRET, there is no question of entity on OOTI because once again, an entity is its own invoicing entity.

It is not possible to delete an entity if there is data on it such as projects, members, contacts, time... You will then have to delete all the elements on your side before you can delete it.

III/ Giving employees access to another entity



Your collaborators can enter time on the projects of another entity. He will just have to be a member of the project. It is not necessary that he then have access to the other entity.

To give them access to projects go to Collaborators > Collaborators then click on a collaborator's file > Projects tab > select the new projects then add the selection. Also choose the permission he will have on these new projects.

If you want to give them access to the new entity (in order to see the costs, salaries...), go to collaborators > collaborators then click on the file of a collaborator > Team tab > select the new entity then add the selection. Also choose the permission he will have on this new entity.

That's it ! 🎉
