Add and manage departments

Set up the departments inside a location, rename one, or delete one you no longer use.

Open the Departments tab

1. Click your profile picture in the top right, then click Locations/Depts/Roles.
2. Click the Departments tab. The list shows one location at a time. To switch, click the location name above the list.

Add a department

1. Click Add Department.
2. Type a name into Name, up to 50 characters.
3. Under Location, pick every location that needs this department. Each location you pick gets its own department of that name.
4. Click Save.

Note: A name has to be unique within a location. If it is already taken, Timble says "Department already existed, try another name."

5. If the location has roles that are not in a department yet, Timble asks "Assign roles to ... department". Tick the roles that belong here, then click Assign & Finish.

Important: The department is not created until you click Assign & Finish. If you click Cancel on this dialog, nothing is saved. The button stays greyed out until you tick at least one role.

Rename a department

1. Click the department in the list, or click the pencil icon on its row.
2. Change Name.
3. Click Save.

Delete a department

1. Click the bin icon on the department's row.
2. Click Delete on "Delete ... department?".

Note: Every location keeps at least one department. If this is the only one, Timble says "You have to keep at least one department." Add the replacement first, then delete.

3. If the department has members, shifts or roles in it, Timble says "This department has members, shifts or roles assigned. Choose another department to transfer them to." Choose the replacement under Transfer to, then click Transfer & Delete.
