What are Departments used for?
Departments are used to determine what areas your volunteers serve in. Departments are mainly used when volunteers are assigned to a service. You can see who serves in what department, and then quickly click and drag volunteers to add them to the service.
Each department is broken up into sub-departments and positions. Here is an example of departments, sub-departments and positions:
You can add as many Departments as you like.
Departments are flexible
Volunteers aren't locked into the departments they are assigned. If for some reason a volunteer was in the Music Team but was asked to help out in the Kids Team for one week, you can add the volunteer to the Kids Team when assigning them to a service.
