In the next modal, you can create new department(s) by using the **Add** button and/or modify existing entries. Note that while Teambook automatically assigns a **color code** to each department, you can choose your own by clicking on the color shape:

In the **Planning** and **Capacity** screens, the color code then appears on the user's left-hand side.   
The list of users can be **sorted** according to this department using the appropriate sort icon:
