Creating Divisions

Organization standard group members can create divisions.

The Division Owner will automatically default to the user who is creating the Division. Please make sure to go back and change this if needed once you have created your resources.

While you do not have to fill in all the non-required fields, entering a complete form is helpful in dif­ferentiating Divisions.

When making decisions about how to set up Divisions, think about how you would like to view the financial performance of your organization. Financial information from Projects rolls up into the Division to which they are associated.

1.      Navigate to Organization/All Divisions.

2.      Choose Menu > New.

3.      Fill in at least the required fields: Title, Owner, Office, Target Billable Hrs/Week. For field descriptions, see Division Info tab.
