Add a Department

 

If any part of your organization is structured into departments, you may add them to the system and then link positions to their departments. Examples of departments include Finance, Information Technology and Human Resources. If your organization does not use departments, you may skip this step. 

 

1. From the home page or left menu, click Administer Database under Configure System

 

2. In the "Organization Lists" section, select Department

 

3. Either select Add New Department or select an existing department to edit. 

 

4. Enter the Name of the department. 

 

5. Click Confirm and confirm that the department entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it. 

 

Troubleshooting 

 

An error appears when Confirm is clicked. 

 

Make sure that you have entered a name for the department and that it is not the same as a department that was already entered. Change the name and try saving again. If you do not want to add the department after all, click Return (do not save changes)
