The Locations & Departments area adds the ability to assign employees to a department directly in the employee profile and shows a person's department manager assignments under Employee Management.
Department Assignment
In the Employee File under Employees > [Name] > Employee File, the master data contain a Department field. You edit it via the pencil icon of the master data. You can use it to specify which department the employee belongs to. The field is available both when creating a new employee and when editing an existing employee record.
If you create a new employee directly from within a department – via the Employees tab of the respective department – the field is automatically pre-filled with that department.
Department Manager
Under Employees > [Name] > Employee Management > Department Manager (Assignments column) you see all departments for which this person is registered as a department manager.
Department manager assignments are managed in the Departments > [Department name] > Department Manager menu item. Users whose user role may edit the Roles & Assignments row can add or remove employees as leaders of a department there.
Note: The Department Manager menu item under Employee Management is shown to users whose user role may view the Roles & Assignments row in the Employee area in Roles & Permissions.
