Department Management: Auto-Tagging, Routing & Reporting

Department management assigns every user to one department, which every request they submit carries automatically — powering department-scoped workflows, per-team routing, and spend reporting without a single manual tag.

The department field is small and does three large jobs: routing (budget owners approve their own team's spend), visibility (who spends what), and scoping (each team sees its own processes). Part of the product guide.

How the auto-tagging works

• Each user belongs to one department — set at invitation, changeable by admins
• Every submitted request inherits that department — no tagging step, no forgetting
• Workflows can be scoped per department — Marketing's pipeline routes to Marketing's approvers
• Reporting slices by department with complete data, because completeness is structural: the analytics guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Why one department per user instead of many?

Because routing and reporting need an unambiguous answer to "whose budget?" — one owner per requester keeps both clean. Cross-team spend routes by workflow, not by multi-membership.
