Chateau enables you to organize the LUnits in your database by assigning them to Plants and then assigning the Plants to a Facility. In this way, you can sort your database in a variety of ways. LUnits are nested in Plants, and Plants can be nested in Facilities. Alternatively, you can have a very flat structure where all the LUnits are just kept in a single Plant and a single Facility.
