Selecting a Superior Department Containing all Supervised Departments

Introduction

Feature(s)

Jodoo allows selecting superior departments to select all supervised departments directly in the following scenarios:

Application Scenario(s)

For example, you can click a superior department to select all supervised departments directly in Notifications.

When an enterprise contains dozens or even hundreds of departments, there is no need for an admin to check the configuration of these departments individually. If sub-departments are created under one department, they will follow the setting of their supervising department and do not need to be updated again.

Preview

When setting recipients of notifications, tick Contain supervised departments dynamically, and subsequent business can be transferred to all sub-departments and new sub-departments under this department.

Setting Procedure

When setting departments, you can directly select all supervised departments under a department. Even if there are sub-departments to be added later, they can also be selected as recipients.

Take setting the recipient of notifications in a form as an example:

Visiting a Form

Select any form to set notifications and go to the editing page. Both regular forms and workflow forms can be selected.

Setting Notification(s)

Go to Extension > Notifications > New Notification to set notifications.

Setting Recipient(s)

Click Add Departments/Members in Recipients and select a department needed to be set as the recipient. You can also tick Contain supervised departments dynamically if all supervised departments under this department need to be set as recipients.

Then all supervised departments under this department will be reminded as well. For other settings about notifications, see Notifications.

Demonstration

1. Adjust the structure of the contact.

After all settings are completed, go to Contacts to adjust the structure of the contact, click , and add a sub-department under the set department.

2. Effect after the settings.

Return to the form, go to Extension > Notifications, and click Edit.

If you select the supervising department and tick Contain all supervised departments dynamically, the sub-department set before is also ticked by default.

Notes

The limit on the number of people in a department varies among different notifications as follows:

Only department members within the limit can receive notifications when the number of people in the set department exceeds the above limitations.
