Site - Settings My Departments

Overview

The My Departments page allows you to manage the departments within your organization. Departments are used to organize your deployed applications and give each area of your organization its own dedicated page displaying its relevant applications.

Adding a New Department

To add a new department enter the department name in the Add Department field and click Add. The system will automatically generate a vanity name from the department name you enter. For example entering Information Technology will generate a vanity name of information-technology which is used in the department page URL.

Notes on Department Names

• Department names must be unique within your organization
• If a department with the same name already exists you will be prompted to choose a different name
• The vanity name is generated automatically and cannot be manually edited

Editing a Department

To edit an existing department select the department you want to modify from the Departments dropdown and click Edit. The department's current details will appear in the edit form below.

Department Name

Update the name of the department. The vanity name will be automatically regenerated from the new name you enter. If the new name conflicts with an existing department name you will be prompted to choose a different name.

Department Image

Upload a custom image for the department. This image will be displayed on the department's page and can be used to visually identify the department. Accepted file types are PNG, JPEG, and JPG with a maximum file size of 2MB.

If a department image has already been uploaded it will be displayed with a View Current Image link. Uploading a new image will automatically replace the previous one — previous images are retained in the system for record keeping but only the most recently uploaded image will be displayed.

Click Edit to save any changes made to the department.

Notes

• Departments must be created before they can be assigned to a deployed application
• Deleting a department is not available from this page — to remove a department from use deactivate all applications assigned to it
• The vanity name is used in the department page URL and is regenerated automatically whenever the department name is updated
• Changes to the department name will be reflected immediately across the platform including the navigation menu and department pages
