Department and Employee Management


Org structure administrators can access “System Administration - Org Structure Management - Departments & Employees” to manage the organizational structure.

1. Organization/Department Concepts

  • Entire Company/Group: The default top-level node in the department hierarchy, representing the highest-level department. Renaming is allowed.
  • Organization: When [Multi-Org] is enabled, organizations and sub-organizations can be created, typically used for subsidiaries or branches.
  • Department: Sub-departments can be created under “Organization/Department.” Managers of parent departments can view all data from subordinate departments.
  • Organization/Department Manager: Each org/dept can have one manager with read/write permissions for its business data.
  • Organization/Department Assistant: Multiple assistants can be assigned per org/dept, with the same read/write permissions as the manager.
  • Organization/Department Observer: Excluding the top-level org, multiple observers can be assigned per org/dept with view-only permissions for Feeds.
