Departments

Departments is under Content in the left-hand menu. It holds the list of departments you can assign staff to.

This is a short list you set up once and rarely touch. Its only job is to group people on the staff page.

Adding a department

1. Click Departments in the left-hand menu.
2. Click Create New.
3. Type the Title — the department name as it should appear on the website.
4. Click Save.

That is the whole screen. There is one field.

How it's used

Once a department exists, it appears in the Category list when you edit a staff member. Assign people to it there, not here.

So the order is: create the department first, then assign people to it. If a department isn't showing in the list on a staff record, it's because it hasn't been created yet.

Renaming

Edit the title and save. Everyone assigned to it stays assigned — you are renaming the label, not moving people.

Deleting

Delete a department and any staff member assigned to it loses that grouping. They are not deleted, but they will no longer show under a department heading.

Check who is assigned before deleting, and reassign them first.
