Departments.

Understand Departments in Jirav

Departments are used to plan, analyze, and report within Jirav. Use departments in planning to build up a plan at the department level that automatically rolls up to the total company. Breakdown data by department in reports & dashboards for a deeper analysis and meaningful actual vs budget variances. 

Be Aware: Departments are not available in the Starter (Free Trial) version of Jirav. Click here to learn more about adding Departments to your Starter account.

To manage your Jirav departments, go to Settings ⚙️> Departments.

Depts Settings

There are 3 columns associated with Departments:

  • MASTER: These are the Departments available within Jirav Plans, Dashboards, and Reports.
  • ACCOUNTING*: These are the Departments from your accounting system. *This is the middle column and the header will reflect the name of your accounting system, e.g., QUICKBOOKS, XERO, NETSUITE, etc. 
  • WORKFORCE: These are the Departments found in your workforce import. 

Depts Columns

These 3 columns allow you to create a mapping between the 3 systems; Jirav, Accounting, and Workforce. For example, if the Accounting System has a G&A Department and the Workforce System has an Admin Department, they can be mapped to a common Jirav Department of Admin

Click the EllipsisEllipsis left of a Master Department line to access the context menu.
