==Definition==The [[Root Company|root organization]] is created when a copy of [[SmartSimple]] is initially activated and the first [[Global User Administrator|System Administrator]] is associated with this organisationorganization. Since the root organization is the first organization in the hierarchy, and is neither [[internal]] nor [[external]], it will appear at the root of both the internal and external organization hierarchy, representing the [[instance]]. The root organization should not have [[Signup Page|signup pages]] created to it; rather, it should have sub-internal and sub-external entities based on client requirements.

==How to Find the Root Organization==: 1. Click the 9-square icon on the top right of the homepage to access your menu.:: [[File:052919_MenuIcon.png|border]]: 2. Under '''OrganisationOrganizations''', select '''Organization Hierarchy'''.:: [[File:052919_EF_OrgHierarchy.png|border]]: 3. The current [[Organization hierarchy|organization hierarchy]] and [[User|users]] are displayed. The root organization is the first organization listed.:: [[File:052919_EF_Root.png|200px|border]]The first tab of your organization hierarchy lists [[Internal]] Users  contacts, while the second tab lists [[MenuExternal]] contacts. In the above example, the internal hierarchy is titled '''Branch''' and the external hierarchy is titled '''Organization'''. The [[Organization Terminology|menuorganization terminology]] is variable depending on the SmartSimple [[instance]]; however, the root organization will always appear first on both the internal and external lists.
