P18 Departments

The Departments from the LMS include a code and an associated name. This page allows you to see the code and name of a department, and to edit whether the department is active or inactive.

Depending on the setting of the system and the user credentials, it can be possible to edit the name and the code of the department.

Hint: When multiple departments need to be disabled at the same time, it is practical to include inactive departments in the overview by ticking the checkbox “Include inactive”. This ensures that the overview does not jump to the top of the page each time a department is disabled.
