Creating a Position

The Position detail area allows you to assign a single user to a named position as shown in the steps below. Positions are placeholders for specific user accounts and are configured across the entire organization.

If you do not see a user you want to assign to this position, the user must first be created. See Creating a New User.

Only one user can be assigned to a position. A user may be assigned to multiple positions. If that user leaves the organization or changes functions within the organization, you must update the position to reflect the change. When the user assigned to a position is changed, historical notifications sent to that position will be displayed in the newly assigned user's Dashboard, and not in the previous user's Dashboard.
