  2. Under the Add New Division heading, add a name to the Name field.
  3. Click the green, Add New Division button.

Assigning a Division To a Profile

Once you’ve created a division, it will show up as an option on all profiles (you must be editing the profile to see these options). Look in the right sidebar for Divisions.

Multiple division can be assigned to a profile by checking the corresponding boxes.


Editing and Deleting Divisions

To edit or delete existing divisions, select SOM Directory > Division in the dashboard menu.

Then select the division you wish to edit or delete.

Deleting a division will not delete any profiles; it will just remove that division from any profile to which it had been assigned.
