How do I delete a department?

How to remove departments from your ReelCount database.

Updated over 2 months ago

Departments are managed through the Crew page. Whether a department stays visible depends on whether it still has crew members assigned.


Deleting a Department

  • If you remove every crew member from a department, the department itself will be deleted automatically.

  • Once the last member is gone, it disappears from the Crew page and Schedule view.


Tidying Up Units

  • Departments belong to units (for example, Core or Dailies).

  • If a department is removed, the unit remains unless you also delete it in Setup โ†’ Units.

  • Empty units are hidden from the Crew page but still appear in the Setup tab, where you can edit or delete them.


Key Points

  • A department is automatically deleted once it has no crew.

  • Units can be tidied separately from the Setup tab.

  • Keeping units and departments clean makes it easier to schedule crew.


Thatโ€™s how department deletion works โ€” simply clear the last member and the system does the rest.
