    Organizing and Retrieving Organization Records

    We have a lot of organizations in our database that have branches (ex: a large hospital with several locations, a school with multiple campuses, different departments of an organization, city government and the varioius offices [that change fairly regularly so it is easier to track the office than the official]).  Is there an easy way to organize these records? For example have NFL as a record and each team have a record that branches off of that main one.  Many of our records from the same company have the company name in them and it is difficult to make a decison on which record to enter "Company" data on.

    On the Org2 tab, we use the Parent Corp field for the "main" company (headquarters); then link all subsidiaries/branches as relationships.
