Creating a department structure

When creating the department hierarchy, start from the most general units and go towards the lowest sub-departments in the hierarchy. Branches enable to graphically determine the relationships only. In terms of operation, they are “at the same level”. Such a procedure will facilitate the creation process, as it will not be necessary to go back to sub-department properties to supplement information.

To create a department structure:

Select the Manage departments option from the Tools tab. The department window will open, displaying all the departments defined for the atlas.

1.To create a new department, click the Add department button. In the department property dialog, enter the name of the created department and an optional description. If it is a sub-department, mark an appropriate field and select a parent department.

2.Confirm the entered changes and the created department will appear in the list. Repeat the above procedure, until all departments are created.

3.If it is necessary to make corrections, click the Edit department button.
