For medium and large customers, YIDA is better adapted to the DingTalk organization interconnection system and provides an inter-enterprise interconnection solution for business digitization. Key points includeDingTalk Associated organizations(Now renamed to upper and lower level organizations), DingTalk the connection between upstream and downstream organizations is applicable to top-down functional organizations such as education and County, while upstream and downstream organizations are more suitable for enterprises.Inter-Enterprise interconnection scenarios.
What is DingTalk upstream and downstream organizations
Usage scenarios
Scenario | Customer pain points |
Business docking between enterprises and internal and external collaboration  | To connect with external organizations, you must first find the corresponding docking person. Only after one inquiry, contact information, adding friends, and pulling groups can the work be connected. • No contact for half a month, no reply from the contact person, no answer to the phone; Finally, I contacted and said, "I left..." • To whom the docking person is handed over, another question is asked. • Is the docking person an employee of Company A? The sudden "Flying Order"...... • What level is the docking person? Is it the project person? Can he solve the problem? • What type and level of partners are, and what cooperation policies and standards need to be communicated. Each time, we need to search for partner information data. • For each new supplier, you must send a link to the supplier management system and set permissions. • Where is the process of internal and external collaboration? You need to log on to the system to see that many processes are not supported by the system. The process is not transparent, and the progress is determined by repeated stalking inquiries. • Because communication and cooperation are not timely and broken, the payment is slow, the problem has been checked for a long time, and the business is always delayed. |

Core effect
- Trusted personnel identity-avoid non-active external docking personnel
- Continuous collaboration-the contact person knows at the first time when he leaves, and there is handover at the first time
- Permissions can be isolated-suppliers see supplier-related systems, distributors see distributor-related systems

Common FAQ
Q: How to calculate the number of licence people in the main organization and the downstream? Can you give an example?
A: For example, the picture shows licence in the main organization, consuming A total of 2000+200=2200 places and the remaining 800 places. If the downstream organization purchases YIDA independently, it can be used as a standard organization.
Main organization (main organization) | Downstream organization (original cooperation space, now upstream and downstream organization) |
Total number: 10000 people in the address book (purchased the exclusive 3000-person version) | Total number: 1,000 people (200 people authorized by upstream as partners) |
Main organization Workbench: 2000 members in the organization can use YIDA applications | Downstream organization Workbench: 200 people can use YIDA from upstream applications |
Q: What YIDA scenarios do downstream personnel support?
Currently, downstream personnel can submit forms, process approval (single ordinary submission instead of batch submission), View reports, and trigger integrated automation and cool application message cards after submission, functions in other categories are not supported separately. Keep following product update logs for the latest feature upgrades.
Description:
Downstream organizations can see the applications released by the upstream organization and initiate the process. However, in the process of initiating the process instance (such as transfer, signing, etc.), only users in the same organization as the initiator can be selected.
For example, Upstream organization A and downstream organization B, where upstream application X is published to downstream organizations.
- Scenario 1: User a is in downstream organization B. Then, when he can only initiate the process in the downstream organization B, and the users that can be selected during the flow process can only select the address book of organization B.
- Scenario 2: User B is in both upstream and downstream organizations.
- When he starts the process when he is in the upstream organization A, the selected B in the flow process can only select the address book of organization A.
- When he starts the process when he is in the downstream organization B, the user B that can be selected during the flow process can only select the address book of organization B.
Q: What are upstream and downstream organizations? What problems are used to solve?
Upstream and downstream organizations are [external communication and collaboration platforms] that can connect enterprises and partners. They can quickly find people across enterprises and automatically quit their jobs, thus realizing information sharing and application connection among enterprises, achieve efficient and secure communication and collaboration in upstream and downstream organizations.
Q: What scenarios are applicable to upstream and downstream organizations?
Applicable to upstream and downstream cooperation relationships, such as suppliers, distributors, franchisees, human outsourcing management, external ecological employees, etc.
Q: What happens when you join an upstream and downstream organization?
Different organizations can set up shared contacts and use shared applications from upstream and downstream organizations.
Q: Are all upstream and downstream organizations required to be certified?
No certification organization is required, but the number of non-certification organizations and the number of organizations will be different from that of certification organizations.
Q: How many upstream and downstream organizations can an organization create? Is it free?
OneCertification OrganizationBy default, you can create10Free upstream and downstream organizations, each space can be added up3000 people,If you need to expand the capacity, you can contact our relevant support students.
Q: How many upstream and downstream organizations can an organization join?
5.
Q: How many organizations can an upstream and downstream organization invite to join?
800.
Q: How do I create an upstream and downstream organization?
The primary administrator of the authentication organization or the sub-administrator with the permissions of the upstream and downstream organizations can go to the DingTalk app: Organization Management-interconnection platform-upstream and downstream organizations to create. For more information, see the screenshot in the Operation Manual.

Q: Why can't ordinary members of an organization/enterprise create and manage upstream and downstream organizations?
Because the personnel of the upstream and downstream organizations need to access the address book of the entire organization, ordinary members or even sub-administrators cannot create and manage the upstream and downstream organizations. At the same time, the upstream and downstream organization is an official connection channel of the organization, which needs to be confirmed by the organization administrator, otherwise there will be security risks.
Q: How do I join an upstream and downstream organization?
After creating upstream and downstream organizations, the administrator can send the QR code or invitation link of the space to the organization that needs to join the space. After the primary administrator of these organizations applies for joining by scanning the code or opening the link, the application is reviewed by the administrator of the upstream and downstream organizations and can be added after it is passed. Note that when applying to join an upstream and downstream organization, you can set who or Department of the organization needs to join the space, or you can choose to join the entire organizational structure.
Q: How do people from upstream and downstream organizations synchronize?
Whether it is an organization that creates a space or an organization that applies to join a space, you can set which people or departments of the organization need to join the space, and then when the person or department enters or transfers, relevant changes are automatically synchronized to the upstream and downstream organizations.
Q: How long does it take to synchronize personnel or fields in upstream and downstream organizations?
Takes effect in real time.
Q: How to set the personnel visibility of upstream and downstream organizations?
Members of the primary organization that initiates the upstream and downstream organizations. By default, all member organizations that join the upstream and downstream organizations can be seen.
The default visible range of member organizations joining upstream and downstream organizations is only the organization. Administrators of upstream and downstream organizations can go to the associated organizations to set visibility for each organization joining upstream and downstream organizations;
Q: Can upstream and downstream organizations invite organizations to join in batches?
OK. Currently, there are APIs for bulk invitations for major customers. For more information, please contact the corresponding business or operation students.
Q: Do upstream and downstream organizations support self-built applications?
Supported. That is, log on to the developer background as the organization of the above downstream organization and create applications within the organization. (November, 2021: We will support the self-built application data communication between the primary organization and the upstream and downstream organizations in the future)
Q: How to add self-built applications to upstream and downstream organizations?
Go to the DingTalk developer background, scan the code, log on to the identity of the downstream organization above, and select Create Organization internal application to publish according to the process. The application will appear on the home page of the upstream and downstream organization, all members who join the upstream and downstream organizations can use it.
Q: Where is the entrance of upstream and downstream organizations?
If your organization has joined an upstream and downstream organization and you have joined the upstream and downstream organization, you can see the space under the contacts tab-upstream and downstream organization. If your organization has not joined the upstream and downstream organizations, you can go to the organization management-interconnection platform-upstream and downstream organizations.
Q: Can Administrators of upstream and downstream organizations manage departments and personnel of member organizations joining upstream and downstream organizations?
No, administrators of upstream and downstream organizations can only edit departments or directories of upstream and downstream organizations and place member organizations under different departments or directories.
Q: How do I exit the upstream and downstream organizations?
Users can exit upstream and downstream organizations through these two ways: 1. The administrator who creates an upstream and downstream organization can cancel the association of a member organization, thus enabling the entire member organization to exit the upstream and downstream organization; 2. The master administrator of a member organization can manage personnel associated with upstream and downstream organizations, thus enabling specific personnel or departments to exit upstream and downstream organizations.
Q: How to initiate a cooperative group?
From the home page of the upstream and downstream organizations-initiate a cooperative group chat to initiate a cooperative group.
Q: What are the characteristics of the Cooperative Group?
During group chat, the real identity of the person in the original organization will be displayed. If the person leaves the original organization, the upstream and downstream organizations and cooperation groups will automatically exit.
