After you successfully created a new location, it is important to first add departments as well as employees. For this, follow the steps below:

   1. For this click on "departments" in the location you just created or which you want to edit 
   2. Then in the left hand corner click on "add department" 
   3. You can now name the department and choose a colour for this specific department
2. Now you can add specific employees to this department, by clicking on the + icon next to their name. Once all relevant employees are selected, you just close the window, top right. 

Once the department is created and your relevant employees have been added, you will see additional actions in the overview of the locations, which are:
