Divisions are used to create organizational separation, usually within a department. Divisions can belong to departments or can be at the top of your group hierarchy.
To Create A New Division:
Creating Divisions within your organization is optional. If you decide to break down your Departments into different Divisions it is best to create your divisions at the beginning, right after creating your departments.
Please Note
Grades and/or Ages must be set in here in order to utilize automated class promotions if you plan to promote children / students by departments!
From the menu:
Groups > Divisions > “Add New”
