You can manage your organization's structure from Administration → Manage Areas. Only the Founder and users with the gestione_dipartimenti permission can create structures.
The hierarchy has two levels. You will be creating one of:
- An Area — a top-level grouping (e.g., Human Resources, Finance)
- A Department — an operational unit nested inside an Area (e.g., Payroll Unit)
Creating a new Area
From the main Areas list, click New Area in the top-right corner.
Fill in the form:
- Title — the display name of the Area.
- Code (Unique ID) — a short alphanumeric key with no spaces (e.g.,
HR). This is permanent and cannot be changed after creation. The field is validated in real time — if the code is already taken the submit button stays disabled. - Description — optional summary of the Area's scope.
- Manager — use the search button to look up a registered user. If the username does not exist the Founder account is used as fallback and a warning is shown.
Creating a new Department (sub-structure)
From the Areas list, click the list icon next to the parent Area (or navigate into it), then click Create new Structure.
The form is identical to the Area creation form. The Manager field here designates the Head of Unit for the Department.
Once created, the Department appears in the list and a career event is automatically logged to the Head of Unit's HR record.
Remember: Users are assigned to Departments, not to Areas directly. After creating a Department, use Manage Memberships to assign users to it.
