Updated March 15, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Operational hierarchy will enable admins to map their organization’s structure of frontline teams/locations to a hierarchy in the Teams Admin Center. Admins can define metadata that ranges from department information to brand information metadata for each team/location. The operational hierarchy coupled with this metadata will enable numerous frontline apps and experiences in the future like task publishing and others that are forthcoming.

[When this will happen:]
The rollout of this feature will be completed in late March 2024 (previously February) in the Teams Admin Center.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Admins will be able to:
- Upload a CSV on the Teams Admin Center that defines the operational hierarchy of the organization.
- Within this same CSV, define metadata for each location that can include any attributes of your teams/locations such as information on what departments exist, the store layout, brand information, and more.
- Enable frontline apps and experiences in the future such as task publishing along with others that are forthcoming.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
Start reading documentation about how to deploy your frontline operational hierarchy.
