How to use Departments for Events

Modified on Fri, 20 Oct 2023 at 11:19 AM

When you assign a department to a single event, all the shifts worked on that event will be included in the department for reporting purposes. The workers don't need to be individually assigned to the department in any way because their shifts will automatically be included in the department when you run reports.

Navigate to the Event Page
Click "Set Department" along the top of the screen
Select which department and click save
