Introduction
A department maps to a schedule with Workforce. For example, you could create departments for Front of House and Back of House.
Employees can then be assigned to their relevant department/s, and managers can also be allocated to departments.
A department, "Schedule", is set up by default when your Workforce account is first created. To view it, navigate to Departments under the Company option on the top bar.
On the Departments screen, you can choose to rename the default department to be more relevant to your business (e.g. Front of House).
You can also create more departments by clicking on Add Department. There is no limit to how many departments you can create.
New departments can also be added by clicking on the Department field in the Scheduler, then clicking Create a new department.
There are several settings you can define for your department, including enabling off-site addresses, creating sections, and defining shift swaps and drops.
