Update a Department's hierarchy or details in CourseCloud

Note: The below describes our limited-access content delivery platform for early adopters. If you are not an early adopter, please see the section on CourseCloud Legacy.

To change your organization’s hierarchy in CourseCloud, return to the Manage Departments area (Admin Tools > Company tab > Manage Departments), select a department to move, such as the example below, and click the Edit department button:

On the editing page, expand the hierarchy, which will be collapsed by default:

Select whichever department you want to move it below, then click Save changes. If the department you’re moving already has users assigned to it, they will move along with it:

Note: You can also update the department’s long or short name on this page.

A confirmation prompt will appear. If the description of the change looks good, click Continue:

A green success message will appear. Expand the hierarchy to view the department’s updated position:

If this example department had contained sub-departments of its own, all of them would have followed it to the new location.
