Departments, to which users must be attached, are used by the different Lucca solutions for different purposes:

  • Define access scopes: for example to restrict the visibility of absences in the Lucca Absences schedule.
  • Filtering data in a report: our different reports generally allow to filter data according to the legal entity, the SSC, but also the department of the user.
  • Build the organization chart in Lucca Core HR. The departments are represented as a hierarchical tree with a parent/child relationship.

NB: You can have up to 9 levels of departments, and up to 99 departments under a single parent department. However, limiting the number of levels to 7 is recommended.
