Field Description
Describes each field in the "New Department" screen.
Name
Display Name
Enter the division/section name according to the actual organization chart.
Localized Name
Enter the department name in the language that the users can display.
For example, you can type "営業部" for users who use Japanese or "Sales.Div" for users who use English.
Department Code
A string to identify the department. Make sure you type the string which has not already been used for different department.
When Automatically Created by the System
If you save the department without entering the department code, the system configures the department code.
The department code can be changed later, if necessary.
When Manually Entered by Administrators
You can specify any string as an department code.
For example, if you specify "domestic_sales_group1" as the department code, the code clearly tells the type of the department.
Parent Department
You configure it only when you create a hierarchy of departments.
You can select a parent department from existing departments.
For example, if you want to add a "Accounting Department", specify "Administrative Division" as a parent department.
Description
Enter the short description of the department and the attributes of members.
Only Kintone Users & System Administrators can check this description.
Adding a Department with the Same Name as the Existing Department
By specifying different department codes, you can add multiple departments with the same name.
To differentiate multiple departments with the same name, use "Description" of the department.
