Set up departments

Group staff and subjects into departments — Science, Mathematics, Languages — each with a head. Works for schools, PU and degree colleges.

  1. 1

    Add a department

    Go to Staff → Departments. Type a name (a short code is optional) and pick the head of department if you know it. A head who isn't in any department yet joins this one.

    Staff → Departments
  2. 2

    Add its staff

    Open the department, tick people under Add staff, and press Add selected. Someone already in another department moves here — the list shows where each person is now.

    You can also pick a department on a staff member's Edit page, or when adding new staff.

  3. 3

    Add its subjects

    Tick subjects under Add subjects — Physics, Chemistry and Biology under Science, for example.

  4. 4

    Find people by department

    The Staff list now has a Department column and a filter, including Not in a department to catch anyone left out.

    Deleting a department keeps its people and subjects — they are simply no longer in a department.
