> # Custom Editor for Organizational Units

> Use this dialog to create or edit the entry representing an organizational unit. Organizational units may represent real units or divisions of the users stored in directory, but they are also often used to create structure in the directory tree. For this reason, organizational unit entries often contain little information and are used as the parent of other entries.

> ## Tab Column

> Unit. This tab contains the data fields for identifying the unit and specifying its information.

> Languages. This tab contains the user's preferred language and locale-specific strings for displaying the user's information in other languages.

> ## Unit Information

> Name. Enter the name of the organizational unit. This name will appear in the DN of the organizational unit entry as the value of the ou naming attribute.
