  4. Select 'Departments'.
  5. You can also add Locations, Countries and Regions from the dropdown options (you can select multiple).
  6. Click ‘Save & Submit’.

  1. A field with a red asterisk beside it means it is required and you will not be able to complete your work without filling in these fields.
