What is department basic info
Each department has a dedicated section where its key details are stored and summarized for easy reference. Basic Info contains data such as the department name, short name, managers, description, color, and attachments.
If you need to update this information, simply open the form, make your changes, and click Save.
To view a department’s basic info, go to the Departments module and open the Basic Info tab within the selected department.
The Basic Info form includes the following fields:
- Name (required) – Full name of the department
- Short Name (required) – Abbreviation or key (e.g., HR for Human Resources, ACCT for Accounting)
- Department Managers (optional) – Select from your organization
- Description (optional) – Add additional information about the department
- Color (optional) – Choose a color from the palette to associate with the department
- Is Active – Checked by default; uncheck to hide the department from the list
Note! Vault Synapse is a highly customizable tool, meaning certain fields can be additionally customized based on your business needs and preferences.
Note! A user can access the department information only with the relevant permissions/access rights given by the administrator.
