Department & Designation Module Overview
Complete guide to maintaining departments and the designations that sit under them in HRORA.
The HRORA Department & Designation Module maintains the organization's structure. Departments are created first, and designations are created under them.
Who Uses This Module
| Role | What They Can Do |
|---|---|
| HR / Admin | Create, edit, and delete departments and designations |
Department & Designation Workflow
Add a department → department appears in the Department List → add a designation and select the department it belongs to → designation appears under that department in the Designation List → departments and designations become available across the system wherever they are selected
Module Sections
- Department List — All departments in the organization
- Add Department — Form for creating a department
- Designation List — All designations, grouped by the department they belong to
- Add Designation — Form for creating a designation under a department
How the Two Relate
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Department | Top level of the organization structure, created on its own |
| Designation | Job title created under a department |
A department can hold many designations. A designation belongs to exactly one department.
Where These Are Used
Departments and designations are selected throughout HRORA — on employee records, project assignments, shift roasters, learning categories, and announcement audiences.
Create the department before the designation. The Add Designation form requires a department to be selected, so a designation cannot exist without one.
