Departments are used to group people in your company together according to their role. Most companies will already have clearly-defined Departments before they begin using Frankli, but, of course, these may evolve and change over time.

How to View Existing Departments

1. Navigate to the Admin dashboard using the menu on the left-hand side.

2. Select Company.

3. Select Manage Departments.

4. You can use the Arrow on the left-hand side to view more information on individual Departments.

How to Add a New Department

To add a new Department, click the Create button in the top-right corner of the page.

You will be prompted to choose a name for your Department. This will be visible to everyone in your company using Frankli.

When you're happy with the name you've entered, select Create.

How to Edit an Existing Department

To edit an existing Department, click the Edit icon on the right-hand side of the Department you'd like to edit.

Select Update to save any changes you make.

How to Copy an Existing Department

To copy an existing Department, click the Copy icon on the right-hand side of the Department you'd like to copy.

This will open the create form with the details of the copied Department already filled out.

Select Create to create your new Department.

How to Delete a Department

To delete an existing Department, click the Delete icon on the right-hand side of the Department you'd like to delete.

You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the chosen Department. If you confirm, the Department will be deleted permanently.

How to Delete Multiple Departments at Once

You can delete multiple departments at once by using the Bulk Actions feature.

To enable bulk action, click the Bulk Actions button on the top right of the page.

Select the Departments you'd like to delete.

A banner will appear at the bottom of your screen. Click Delete on the right of the banner to delete all the selected Departments.
