Maintaining an accurate and well-structured department hierarchy is essential for organizing employee information and ensuring smooth workflow management. In Synergita, administrators can easily create new departments, assign parent nodes, update existing ones, or deactivate them when no longer needed. 

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to add or manage departments in the system.

The steps to create a new department are as follows:

• Navigate to Admin ->Organization structure->Departments

1. Click the Add Button-A new editable row will appear under each column, allowing you to enter the department details.

2. Enter Department Information-Provide the following details:

• Department Name
• Description (optional, for additional clarity)

3. Assign a Parent Node - If the department should fall under a parent company or another department, select the appropriate Parent Node from the dropdown. This helps maintain a clearly defined organization structure.

4. Activate/Deactivate a Department-Departments can be:

• Deactivated temporarily when not in use
• Reactivated later as required

This ensures only relevant departments appear in employee profiles and configurations.

5. Save the Department-Click Save to add the department to the system.

Once saved, the new department will be visible under the Department field in the employee profile within the Organization Structure section.

How to Edit an Existing Department

Locate the department you wish to update->Click the corresponding row.->Modify the required details (name, parent node, description, etc.).

Save the changes.
