Departments serve as structural organisational units within the Mobile Guardian Dashboard. Organising your organisation into distinct departments simplifies administrative oversight by associating employees, endpoints, policy profiles, software applications, media assets, and Volume Purchase Program (VPP) licenses with target teams (e.g., Engineering, Finance, or Executive).
Creating a New Department
- Log in to the Mobile Guardian Dashboard, navigate to Settings on the left menu, and select Departments.
Enter a descriptive title for the organisational unit (e.g., Marketing, Human Resources, or Field Operations), click Add Department to Business and click Save.
Link Employees to Department:
Navigate to the Employees tab on the main dashboard menu:
- Select an individual employee profile to edit their properties.
- Under the Department assignment dropdown, select the target department.
- Click Save to confirm the link.
