Add A Division

Argenta allows you to categorize and associated things like constituents, events, tasks, etc. with divisions. Divisions are sectors, separate business units or parts of a business that are divided for a specific reason.

To add a new division, select Divisions from the Team menu (the building icon in the top-right corner):

This opens the Divisions listing for your organization. From here, click the "Add New" button:

This opens the Division Workspace:

In this Workspace you will find 4 tabs of information. Let's go tab-by-tab and field-by-field:

1. Division Details tab:

On this tab, you will enter the details of your division. Here you can enter:

Record Level Permissions - Set As View Only - Placing a checkmark in this box restricts this record to view-only access unless the user is the user who created the record, the user is a master admin, or the user is given specific permission to modify this record on the Record Permissions tab of this record. Permissions also work by assigning a department, district and/or precinct. If you have users in your system who are restricted by these permissions, they will only be able to see records in the departments/districts/precincts you have granted them access to.
Record Level Permissions - Lock This Record - Placing a checkmark in this box locks this record so that users cannot view or update the record unless the user is the user who created the record, the user is a master admin, or the user is given specific permission to access this record on the Record Permissions tab of this record. Permissions also work by assigning a department, district and/or precinct. If you have users in your system who are restricted by these permissions, they will only be able to see records in the departments/districts/precincts you have granted them access to.
Division Name - Enter the name for your new division here. This is a required field.
Division Leader - If this division has a leader, you can select that leader by clicking the Lookup icon, searching for and selecting the division leader from your constituents.

Once these details have been entered click the "Save All Changes & Continue" button before moving on.
