# Delete a Department

You can delete a department from the existing list of departments, singly, or all departments at one time.

To delete a department from the department list:

1. In the navigation tree, click Auto-Attendant. The Auto-Attendant menu items appear.

2. Click Departments. The Departments list appears.

3. Select a department or departments from the list and click Delete. A confirmation dialog for the deletion appears.

4. Click OK to confirm the deletion. The department is deleted from the list.

Note: Modifications to the departments do not take effect on the system until the next scheduled automatic update. You can force a manual update by clicking the Force Update button. A dialog appears to inform you that the update is in progress. The date and time of the update appear in the right-hand corner of the window and are refreshed as the department information is updated. The Force Update button is disabled if no changes were made to the departments since the last update.
