[Overview and organizational structure](https://hjelp.motivati.no/en/administrator?hsLang=en#overview-and-organizational-structure) # How to create and edit the organizational chart ## Go to "organization" as administrator Here you will find the layout of the structure that forms the basis for the organizational chart. It contains both the departments and the employees. On the left side, the departments are sorted into a folder structure. ### Department structure To edit, use the buttons located at the top of the column: - **New department:** Click "**Add department**" on top of the department list. - **Rename department**: Select department and click "**edit**" - **Move department**: Click "**edit structure**" and drag & drop - **Delete department:** Select department, click "**edit**" and click "**delete**" in the lower left corner. - **See sub departments:** Click the arrow next to the department **Note!** To delete a department all employees have to be moved to another department or deleted. We recommend [moving employees](http://motivati-7574424.hs-sites.com/en/knowledge/how-to-create-and-edit-the-organizational-structure) to another/new department. **Do not delete** an employee unless he/she is no longer an employee. This is because when you delete an employee you delete all data, and it **cannot be restored**. ![Admin - Organization - department structure](https://hjelp.motivati.no/hs-fs/hubfs/Motivati%20system%202025/Admin/Skjermbilde%202025-02-13%20kl.%2013.39.37.png?width=271&height=386&name=Skjermbilde%202025-02-13%20kl.%2013.39.37.png) ### Employee list - Select a department.
