# Assigning Boards to Divisions in Ontraccr

## **🏢 Assigning Boards to Divisions in Ontraccr**  
 

### **Overview**

Divisions in Ontraccr let you organize your business into separate units (e.g., departments, offices, or service lines). When you create a board, you can assign it to one or more divisions — this helps with user access, visibility, and reporting.

## 🎯 **When to Use This**

Assign divisions when:

-   Your company has multiple departments or locations (e.g., HR, Estimating, Service)
-   You want boards to be visible **only to specific groups** of users
-   You need to **filter or report by division** later

## 🧩 **How to Assign a Board to Divisions**

You’ll be prompted to do this during board creation.

1.  **Click the ➕ Plus Icon** to create a new board.
2.  In the **“Division”** section, select one or more divisions from the dropdown list.
3.  If your company has only one division, the board will be assigned to the **default division** automatically.
4.  Click **Submit** to finalize the board setup.

✅ The board is now associated with the selected division(s).

## 📝 **Notes**

-   Divisions help segment your boards without needing separate accounts or workspaces.
-   You can assign a board to **multiple divisions** if it applies to more than one group.
-   Boards will appear to users **only if they have access** to the division it's assigned to (based on permissions).

* * *

## ✅ **Example Use Case**

-   You’re setting up a **Procurement Tracker Board** for two offices:
    -   Select “Toronto Division” and “Vancouver Division”
    -   The board becomes visible to team members from both offices (if permissions allow)

## 🧠 **Tips & Edge Cases**

-   You can NOT **edit the division** assignment later **so it’s important to select the relevant division correctly during Board creation.**
-   If users report not seeing a board, check:
    -   Their **user role permissions**
    -   Whether they belong to the board’s assigned division
-   Divisions do **not limit workflows** — they’re just for organizing and filtering
