Department

Departments group users by team or business unit (for example Finance or IT). You assign a department to each user.

How to get here​

You reach this page through Settings, so you need administrator (settings) permission. If you don't see the Settings icon, ask your administrator for access.

  1. Sign in to EndpointOps.
  2. In the top-right of any screen, click the Settings (gear ⚙️) icon.
  3. The Settings screen opens with its own menu down the left side. Click User Management (the first group) to expand it.
  4. Click Department.

Navigate to: Settings → User Management → Department

URL path: /settings/user-management/departments (for example, https://your-endpointops-site/settings/user-management/departments).

The Department screen​

Department listDepartment list

Columns: ID, Name, Description, Created On.

Each row has edit (✏️) and delete (🗑️) actions.

Built-in default

The Global Department is the catch-all default and can't be deleted.

The toolbar​

Above every list sits the same toolbar:

The list toolbar: Create, Import, Refresh, Export, and ColumnsThe list toolbar: Create, Import, Refresh, Export, and Columns
  1. Create- add a new item.
  2. Import- bulk-import items from a file (only on screens that support it, such as Users).
  3. Refresh- reload the latest data.
  4. Export- download the current list.
  5. Columns- choose which columns to show (covered under "Choosing which columns to show" lower on this page).

Working with the list​

Every list in EndpointOps behaves the same way, so these controls work here too:

  • Search- type in the Search… box above the table to filter the rows as you type.
  • Sort- click the arrows in a column header to sort by that column, ascending or descending.
  • View details- click a row's link in the first column (its name or ID) to open a read-only view of that record.
  • Edit / delete- use the edit (✏️) and delete (🗑️) icons at the end of a row. Built-in/default records show no delete icon.
  • Pagination- when a list runs to more than one page, use the page controls at the bottom-right, and the / page selector to change how many rows show at once.
  • Permissions- you only see Create, edit, and delete if your role grants the matching permission. Without those permissions the screen is read-only.

When you save a new or edited record, a success message appears, the panel closes, and the list refreshes. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk; if you miss one, an inline error shows when you try to save.

How do I create a department?​

  1. Click Create. The Create Department panel opens.

    Create Department formCreate Department form

  2. Enter a Name and a Description (both required).

  3. Click Create.

To change one later, use the edit (✏️) icon; to remove one, use delete (🗑️).

Choosing which columns to show​

Click the Columns icon on the right of the toolbar to open the column picker.

Tips​

  • Departments appear in the Create User form, so add the ones you need before creating users.
  • The Global Department is the catch-all default and can't be removed.
  • Users- every user is assigned a department.
  • Locations- organize the fleet by place instead of team.
  • User Roles- control what users can do.
