    Modify tables organizational structure

    Hello,

    I wish to model organizational structure into tables.
    I have department -> groups -> teams
    each department can have 1 to many groups
    each group can have 1 to many teams
    each group can have 1 to many members that are not in a team


    Each department, group & team has name and manager name

    Would you advice to store all the data in one table in order to build organizational structure from the data:

    tblGROUPS

    groupID
    groupName
    GroupType
    GroupManager

    or only the teams:


    tblTEAMS

    teamID
    teamName
    teamMangerName
    GroupMangerNames
    DeprtmentManagerName

    or model team and group in separate table:
    tblTEAMS

    teamID
    TeamName
    Team Manager

    tblGroup
    groupID
    groupName
    groupManger

    tblTeamInGroups
    teamID
    groupID

    tblEmployePos
    empID
    teamID
    groupID


    Thank you for your help

    I would start with at least these 4 tables.
    Dept
    Group
    Team
    Employee

    see http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/index.htm
    for possible data model

    Check business rules on the models to see how relationships are used to link tables

    once you get a model, use test data to "stump the model". Adjust model as necessary until it meets your
    requirements.

    I will look in the link above for possible model examples
    (and add it to my access bookmarks)
