Here is an example from a KA122-SCH project. For the beneficiary organisation, the Delete icon (1) is inactive. You can view and edit (certain) organisation information. For organisation roles Partner or Other, you have the options to Delete, View and Edit (2).

The list of organisations displays the following information for the organisations participating in the project:

1. OID - the Organisation ID unique identifier obtained when registering in the Organisation Registration system. This identifier does not vary from one project to another.

2. Organisation ID - the unique organisation identifier in your project. This identifier is assigned when the organisation is created in My Projects and can be changed, but must be unique within the project.

   Important

   Do not confuse the OID and the Organisation ID. The OID is the unique identifier obtained when registering the organisation in the Organisation Registration system. The Organisation ID is a unique identifier for the organisation in the project. 

3. Organisation Role - Displays the role of the organisation in the project, for example Beneficiary organisation, Partner Organisation, Consortium Coordinator, Consortium member, Other.
4. Legal name
5. Public body - a flag indicating whether the organisation is a public body.
6. Non-profit - a flag indicating whether the organisation is a non-profit organisation.
7. Country
8. City

ESC51-VTJ - Volunteering Projects
