Add a Division

Divisions are subsections of a department and generally have a specific task, function, or responsibility. For example, in a department responsible for all utilities in a city, there may be separate divisions for water, sewer and storm water, natural gas, electricity, and fiber optic infrastructure.

PREREQUISITES: The Division security function and its associated sub-functions must be selected for the security role you belong to. See Security Roles for more information. You must have a country code, state, and zip code set up. See Country Setup for more information.
