The Locations & Departments module adds the ability to assign employees to a department directly in the employee profile and displays department leader assignments in the employee record.

In the employee profile – under Employees > [Name] > Data – a Department field is available. 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 in the department view – the field is automatically pre-filled with that department.

In the employee profile, the module adds an Assignments > Department Leader tab showing all departments for which this employee is registered as a department leader.

Department leader assignments are managed directly in the department view: in the Departments > [Department name] > Department Leader menu item. Administrators can add or remove employees as leaders of a department there.
