  • When creating for the first time, the default organization department will be the only choice for parent department.  

More Information:

  • A user can be a part of only one department.
  • The department details will be accessible to users in the Search bar at various instances.
    •       Examples:
          1. When searching for a user, the department will be listed in the user's profile.
          2. One can search for a department and view the members in it. 
 
Admin Notes:
  • By default a department will exist with your organization name. If you do not create any departments, then all users will be listed under the default department.
  • Departments menu will not be available in the Admin Panel if you are a Zoho People user, as the departments data from Zoho People will be synced with your Cliq organization by default.
