Updated over 6 months ago

🛠️ Creating and Managing a Branch

Association space administrators can:

  • Create one or more local branches

  • Edit details of an existing branch

  • Assign members to a specific branch

📌 This helps structure your field presence and better distribute roles and actions based on location.

📍 Linking a initiative to a branch

When creating an initiative, you’ll see a field called “Branch” in the form.

  • This field is auto-filled with the branch of the person creating the initiative

  • It can be edited if the initiative is for another branch

👉 This makes it easy to organize your field activities and quickly find initiatives by branch.

👀 What Members See (and Can Do)

🔍 Filters by Branch

By default, lists of initiatives, volunteers, and applications are filtered by the logged-in user’s branch.
However, users can switch the filter to view data from other branches if needed.

📤 Data Export

  • Members can only export data related to their own branch

  • Administrators can select one or more branches when exporting data

⚙️ Changing Your Own Branch

Each user can edit their assigned branch directly in their account settings.

💡 Good to know

  • Using branches is optional – you can operate without them.

  • Using branches smartly makes data exports easier and helps distribute roles more efficiently.
