Tips and Common Issues¶
- Green checkmark under Is Enabled — Indicates the department is active and available for assignment to employees
- Empty Is Enabled column — The department is disabled and will not appear as a selectable option in employee records
- Description shows a dash (-) — No description was entered when the department was created; this field is optional
- Success banner at the top — Appears briefly after a department is added or updated successfully
- SKU is auto-generated — You do not need to enter a SKU manually; the system assigns it on creation
