Good to Know

• Renaming a department renames it on everyone in it.
• Naming someone as Head doesn't give them any access.
• Moving a person to another department is a job change, so it's kept in their history with its date.
• Archive takes a department out of the pickers and keeps its history. Bring back restores it.

If Something Goes Wrong

• A department won't archive. Someone active is still in it, or another department sits under it. Move them first.
• A parent can't be chosen. A department can't sit under itself or under one of its own departments.
• You can see departments but not change them. HR or an Admin limited to some sites can't change departments, because they usually span sites.
