How can I create Departments in SMP?

Departments can be generated in 2 ways:

Manually

Here you will simply go to the page “Departments” under “Settings”:

Then click on “Add Department”:

Enter the Department name manually.
The second field “Workday Department”, can also be used to link the created Department with one Discovered through Workday integration (for more details, please refer to the section below).

Enhanced with Workday integration

If Workday is implemented in your organization, SMP can import these departments into your workspace. With this, users will automatically be assigned to a department. Even if this process is automatic, you must create the first department manually.

To enable this integration, HR capability needs to be set in the back office, and a trigger to Fetch the data would need to occur. Please refer to your CSE to discuss further technical details.
