Departments
Add, rename and delete the departments your team is organised into.
Departments group your employees. They are shown in the directory, on charts and in filters.
Who can do this
Owners and admins, outside the demo workspace. Everyone else sees the list of departments and how many people are in each.
Steps
- Open HR, then Employees under Management.
- Find the Departments card.
- To add one, type the name in New department (up to 80 characters) and click Add.
- To rename one, click the pencil next to it, type the new name and click Save.
- To delete one, click the bin next to it, then Delete? to confirm.
To put an employee in a department, edit the employee and choose the Department.
Common problems
- "That department still has employees, including inactive ones. Move them to another department first." Edit each of those employees and pick another department, then delete it.
- "Give the department a name." The name cannot be empty.
