CATSWeb Manager User Guide - Managing Employee Departments

Managing Employee Departments

The Employee Departments pages allow Employees (users) to be associated with multiple Departments. This provides flexibility for organizations which use cross-functional teams or non-traditional organizational structures. Employee Department pages may be accessed from the bottom of either the Department or Employee pages ("Department Employees" or "Department Membership").

Users in CATSWeb are granted some permissions and capabilities based on the Departments that they are a member of, and which Department they are currently acting in. For example, the Department Tasks page lists the tasks for all members of a particular Department. The Department Issue Status page lists the status of Issues that were originated in that Department. Employees that are members of multiple Departments can change their active Department (i.e. the one that they are currently functioning in) from the Home page of CATSWeb.

All Employees must belong to at least one Department. To remove an Employee from a particular Department, click the Delete link in the Employee Departments list. Use the Add button to associate an Employee with an additional Department.
