Add a new department to your directory in the Directory Console.
Add a department
In your live directory, click Edit in Console in the top bar, next to your profile picture.
In the Directory Console sidebar, open Structure, then select Departments.
Click Add department.
Type the department name, then click Add.
The department is created straight away and a details panel opens on the right, where you can fill in the rest.
Fill in the department details
The Department Details tab holds an image area at the top and the department fields below it:
Department Information — Name and URL. The URL is generated from the name and can be edited.
About — Description. This appears on the department’s page and in card views.
To set the image, use the area at the top of the panel: drop an image onto Drop a photo here, or click to choose, click it to pick a file, click Get image from URL to paste a web address, or click Choose a background style to apply one of the built-in gradients. Once an image is set, Change photo and Remove appear over it.
To set a value, click the Value cell next to the field and type. The row turns yellow while unsaved. Click the green check to save it, or the red X to discard it. Each field saves on its own, so there’s no separate Save button for the whole department.
Only the department name is required. You can leave the description and image and add them later.
Note: A new department has no people in it yet, so it appears in the Directory Console but not in your live directory. It shows up in the directory once at least one person is assigned to it. The Edit in Console button is available to Administrators and Directory Editors. |
