How to Disable or Hide a Workplace

Over time, it's common for the company structure to change, and some Workplaces (departments, teams, or branches) may cease to be used. To keep your platform organized and easy to manage, you can "Disable" or "Hide" these locations.


Understand the difference:

  • Deactivate (Recommended for defunct locations): This is the main action. The location will no longer appear in the selection of active locations (e.g., when registering a new employee) and will also not appear in report filters. It will only be maintained as historical data in the records of employees who were previously part of it.
  • Hide: This is a visual organization action. The location is hidden from your main list and cannot be linked to new employees, but it continues to appear in report filters and other system screens.
