Create and edit departments

Create new departments, edit existing departments, and manage their placement and information in your organizational structure.

How to find Departments

  1. Log in to Woba Suite

  2. Select Organization and Employees from the menu on the left

  3. Select Organization

  4. Go to Departments

Here, you get a complete overview of the organization’s departments and sub-departments.


Create a new department

Click Add Department at the top of the page.

At a minimum, you must enter a name for the department.

You can also add relevant information about the department, including:

  • Department Manager

  • Parent Department

  • Location

  • Department Administrators

  • Employees

  • Language

Once the relevant information has been entered, click Create Department.

The department will then become part of your organizational structure.

💡 Tip: Use Parent Department if the new department should be placed under an existing department in your organizational structure.


Edit an existing department

If you want to change the information for an existing department:

  1. Find the department under Departments

  2. Open the menu next to the department you want to edit

  3. Select the option to edit the department

  4. Make the desired changes

  5. Save the changes

For example, you can change the department’s name, manager, placement in the organizational structure, administrators, employees, and other information.


Activate or deactivate a department

Under Status, you can activate or deactivate a department.

Use the status function if a department should no longer be active in the organization without having to recreate the organizational structure.

When the status is changed, the department’s status is updated directly in Woba.


Do you need to create many departments?

If you need to create or maintain multiple departments, we recommend using import and export via Excel instead of creating each department manually.

This makes it easier to work with a larger organizational structure and manage multiple departments at once.
