- Click the Edit icon () to open the Division dialog box.

Assign Divisions to Entities¶
To further enhance security, you can assign divisions to entities, such as programs, rules, or policies. The entity's division is considered when determining whether the current user has permissions to perform the intended operation, such as editing or deleting the entity.
Program-Level Division Assignment¶
When creating or editing a program:
- Click Programs and find your program.
- For the Divisions field, select one or more divisions from the drop-down.
- Save the program.
All child entities (rules, policies, and so on) created within this program inherit these division constraints.
Program Default Division for Activity Processing¶
Programs can specify a default division that's assigned to activities when neither the user nor the location has divisions configured. This feature is configured in the program's enrollment settings and provides a fallback mechanism for division assignment during activity processing.
To configure the default division:
- Click Programs and find your program.
- Click the Options icon () in the Actions column.
- Click the Activity tab.
- In the Default Division drop-down, select a division from the program's assigned divisions.
- Save the program settings.
