The structure of your organization in three levels. The top level is an organization, for example a bank. The middle level is a division that includes all resources and functions necessary to operate, such as an HR department. The most granular level is a unit that represents a team or a group of related teams, such as an HR payroll unit or an HR benefits unit. Aligning a user in the hierarchy can impact the management reports, statistics, and application elements that are available to a user. When routing work items, the system considers the user's alignment in the hierarchy to enable efficient and intuitive management of work. For example, you can ensure that the application routes approval tasks only to managers.

A durable, potentially permanent, saved representation of a concrete class that is stored in the database. An instance corresponds to a row in the relational database, or to a record. An instance consists of properties and values, and some of these property values form a unique key to the instance.

The rules that define the behavior of your application. You can create classes to gather rules related to a specific object in your application. For example, in a recruitment application, you can create a class that contains rules that define the flow of the recruitment process. Classes can contain other classes, hence a class that contains another class is called a parent class, while a class that is contained by another class is called a child class. A child class can reuse, or inherit, any of the rules that are defined for its parent class, which helps to build your application faster and more efficiently.
