Removing departments and subdepartments

You can remove departments, subdepartments and applications that are members of the department. The data that is collected about the departments, subdepartments and applications is removed from the database repository.

To remove departments, subdepartments, and applications, that are members of the department, from a level of the business hierarchy, complete these steps:
  1. In the menu bar, go to Groups > Departments.
  2. On the Departments page, select one or more departments, right-click and click Delete.
  3. Confirm the information and click Delete.
    1. If you select Delete subdepartments and applications, the subdepartments and applications that belong only to the department, that is being removed, are removed.
    2. If you do not select Delete subdepartments and applications, the subdepartments and applications of the department that are being removed become members of the parent department. If the department is a top level department, and the subdepartments are not members of any other department, they become top level departments.
The departments, subdepartments and applications are removed from the business level hierarchy and are no longer displayed on the Departments page.
