--- title: Companies slug: edgemanager/lem-user-guide/organize-your-environment/companies description: You can create a hierarchy to structure how different edge devices fit into the IT/OT environment of a company or enterprise. docTags: createdAt: 2022-03-30T21:34:57.000Z --- Litmus Edge Manager includes a way for you to create a hierarchy to structure how different edge devices fit into the IT/OT environment of a company or enterprise. This hierarchy follows the same principles as other devices such as servers, PC systems, or PLCs/controllers. You can then visualize and organize where an edge device fits into the overall architecture. The first level of the hierarchy is called **Companies**. Companies are the highest hierarchy level under which everything is structured. Options can be the enterprise, company, or division/subsidiary names. Other valid choices are the name of a country, region, state, or city, as well as production site. These names are based on how you understand your own hierarchy and how the hierarchy will represent the architecture. When you are working in a module for a company, Litmus Edge Manager remembers after you log out so the last module in the company you worked on appears when you log in. See [Company Settings](docId\:QArc2BliaNpOKH6PS47ft) for more information about how to manage companies. Refer to the following actions you can take on the Litmus Edge Manager User UI's *Companies *pane. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/SSUUxKZUk9bFTEPNn_6Zo/dJ1sjrWhU82UUbOqN8G6D_image.png "Company List View") | **Action** | **Details** | | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | \[1] [Add a Company](docId\:GiQlzNld0sBgqUjhRvJ-m) | Allows users to create and organize new company entries within the Litmus Edge Manager. | | \[2] **Company tile** |
