Departments

This page describes the Departments setting in the Assets, Human Resources Management and System modules.

---

Use the Departments setting to list the different Departments in your business. You can assign each Asset to a Department and, if you need to move an Asset from one Department to another, you can easily record this change by creating a record in the Asset Status register. This will help maintain a history of the Asset.

The Departments setting is located in the Assets, Human Resources Management and System modules. To add a new Department record, open the 'Settings' list in any of these modules and double-click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Departments'. The 'Departments: Browse' window will be opened, showing the Departments that you have already entered. To open a new record, select 'New' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or from the + menu (iOS/Android). You can also use the Ctrl-N (Windows) or ⌘-N (macOS) keyboard shortcuts. Alternatively, highlight in the list a Department that is similar to the one you want to enter and select 'Duplicate' from the same menu.

The 'Department: New' window is opened, empty if you selected 'New' or containing a duplicate of the highlighted Department. Complete the record as described below the picture and save it by clicking the [Save] button (Windows/macOS) or by tapping √ (iOS/Android). You can also click the close box or tap < and choose to save changes. To close it without saving changes, click the close box or tap < and choose not to save changes.
