202608030013_team_market_structure.sqlafter Phase 4.5. It adds market ownership to existing district and store records. - 2Confirm the market
Each existing organization receives the Snow Star LP market. Review its legal name, timezone, and contact metadata.
- 3Confirm positions
Market President, District Manager, and General Manager are seeded as protected system positions.
02 / Build the hierarchy
Create districts and stores from Team
Open Team, choose Snow Star LP, and add districts. Open a district to add its stores. The database functions derive organization and market ownership, preventing a store from being attached across tenant or market boundaries.
03 / Assign accountability
Choose roles in the Organization Directory
From the Team page, use each member’s Role menu in the Organization Directory. Market President, District Manager, and General Manager are available alongside the system access roles.
- Market President automatically covers every active market, district, and store.
- District Manager requires one district selection.
- General Manager requires one store selection.
- Only active members may receive operating roles.
- Changing a role preserves the previous assignment in the audit history.
- Future markets are automatically added to every active Market President.

05 / Store QR intake
Print one work-order QR code per store
Open Team → Market → District → Store. The store page generates a downloadable and printable QR code from its permanent random token. Scanning it opens a public mobile form with the store already selected.
- No account or login is required.
- The submitter must enter their name, which remains on the work order history.
- The unlisted random QR address identifies the exact store automatically.
- Each submission creates an open, store-linked work order.
- The created work order records the
store_qrsource and profile-free intake flag. - Each store is limited to 20 QR submissions per hour to reduce abuse.
06 / Monitoring and recovery
Watch coverage without erasing evidence
Use team_structure_metrics for market, district, store, and assignment counts. Review district_staffing_alerts for active districts that have lacked a District Manager for more than seven days.
Before rollback, export markets, positions, assignments, districts, stores, QR tokens, store-linked work orders, and activity logs. Disable writes first. The checked-in rollback is destructive and should be used only after an approved retention review.
