Quick start

Why do you need departments software?

For small firms — user management alone is enough. At 20+ employees — without structural departments you lose clarity on responsibilities and document flow.

No structure

All employees in one plain list. Who reports to whom? Without hierarchy — zero clarity.

Setup from scratch

Creating typical structure for construction firm — office, sites, accounting — takes time. Default templates save hours.

No detail levels

"Construction" department with 30 people. Without sub-departments — mass management.

No duplicate

Second company branch — will you copy whole structure manually?

Frequently asked questions about departments

What does importDefaultDepartments do?+

Creates typical structure for construction firm — Management, Office, Construction, Accounting, Procurement etc. Saves hours of setup.

How many nesting levels supported?+

No limit via parentId. Standard — 3-4 levels. E.g. Company → Varna Branch → Construction Dept → Team 1.

What does duplicate department do?+

Copies whole department with all sub-departments, preserves settings. Users not copied — need manual assignment.

Can a user be in multiple departments?+

Currently one department per user. If user has multiple responsibilities — use permissions instead of departments.

What permission is required for management?+

users:manage — specific permission for department create, update, delete. Admin-level roles only by default.

Reports per department?+

Other modules support department filtering via user assignments — e.g., "all offers from users in department X".

Can I delete a department with users?+

Not directly. First reassign users to another department, then delete. Validation prevents orphans.
