Understand the Effect of Nesting One DMP Group Inside Another

We recommend that you create DMP groups to organize your DMPs according to characteristics that they have in common, such as where or how you will use them, according to whatever logic works best for you. For example, the logical basis for your DMP groups might be geographic or corporate.

One DMP group can contain another. Each choice that you make for centralized management propagates from parent (DMP group), to child (DMP subgroup or DMP), to grandchild (DMP). There is no maximum number of levels that you can add to the hierarchy, but a simpler organization is more scalable than an unreasonably complex one would be.

We recommend that you do not assign any DMP to the root level in the hierarchy, due to the complexity of management, but we do not prevent you from doing this.
