Actions

Create department

Set up a new department within the current selected company. To create a sub-department, you can select the desired parent department from the department picker or from the dropdown. You'll need to provide:

• Parent department - Required (if you haven't already selected this on the previous page). Set this to be the company name if you want to create a top-level department.
• Full name - Required. Long name of the department.
• Short name - Required. This will be used in dropdown menus and places where space is limited. Must be unique (so ideally a code or acronym).

Edit department

Change any of the above for an existing department (except for the top-level department, which cannot be modified).

Delete department

Deletes the selected department (except for the top-level department, which cannot be deleted). NB: You can only do this once all users have been removed.

Export department structure

Exports department data in JSON format. This will save the following:

• department ID
• name
• shortname
• company ID
• parent department ID (this is 0 for the top-level department)
