Departments make it easy to organize your team into groups.

You can assign a person to a department in the Info tab of their profile.

You can also sort and filter the Schedule by department.

You can limit Member's and Manager's view to one or more departments, or sub-departments. Select Can view > Departments from the Access tab within their profile and select the departments you want them to see. They will only see the people, projects, and activities related to their viewable departments or sub-departments.

An Account Owner or an Admin can see an overview of all the departments from the Departments tab within the Team settings. This is where you can see how many people are in a specific department, add sub-departments, or delete departments you no longer need.

📝Note: If you're a Manager looking to add or edit sub-departments for your own department, reach out to an Admin or Account Owner for your team to request any updates.

Sub-departments allow greater flexibility to add a team within a department in Float. For example, you may have frontend, backend, and mobile teams within an Engineering department.

To add a sub-department, click the plus (+) icon for the department and add the sub-department name.

💡Here's a tip: Once you've added a new department or sub-department, you can assign it to several people at once using the bulk actions menu on the People page.

A People Manager for a department or sub-department can schedule and approve time off for that group of team members. An Admin or Account Owner can assign a manager to a department or sub-department on the People page:
