How Do I Create a Department?

Only a ConexED Admin can create a Department and assign a Department Director to a Department. Once a Department Director is assigned, they can see their department(s) by navigating to the Dept & Group Manager tab → then the Manage Departments tab.

When a ConexED Admin logs into their account, the tools for department and group setup are accessible in two locations:

• In the Admin Panel

• Under the Dept & Group Manager tab

Admin Panel

Admins can access the Admin Panel by clicking the gear icon located on the top toolbar:
