Setting Up Departments Groups

2.4 Setting Up Departments and Groups

Organizing users into departments and groups helps ensure that the right information reaches the right people. Here’s how to set them up:

1. Creating Departments:
   • Go to the Departments section in the admin dashboard.
   • Click the "Add Department" button.
   • Enter the department name and any additional details (e.g., description).
   • Click "Save" to create the department.
2. Adding Sub-Departments:
   • Sub-departments allow you to create hierarchical structures (e.g., "IT > Software Development").
   • To add a sub-department:
     • Go to the parent department’s page.
     • Click the "Add Child Department" button.
     • Enter the sub-department name and details.
     • Click "Save".
3. Creating Groups:
   • Groups are more flexible than departments and are often used for project teams or cross-functional collaboration.
   • To create a group:
     • Go to the Groups section in the admin dashboard.
     • Click the "Add Group" button.
     • Enter the group name and any additional details (e.g., purpose, description).
     • Click "Save" to create the group.

Tips for Getting Started

• Plan Your Structure: Before adding users and departments, plan your organizational structure to ensure it reflects your organization’s needs.
• Use Templates: Configure templates for content creation to ensure consistency across posts.
• Test Notifications: Send test notifications to ensure users receive them correctly.
