Divisions must be enabled for the organization.

All records are initially assigned to the default “Global” division until the user defines the division. You can create up to 100 divisions, including any inactive ones.

1. From Setup, enter Manage Divisions in the Quick Find box, then select **Manage Divisions**.
2. To create a division, click **New**, or **Edit** change an existing division.
3. Enter the division name.
4. To make the division active, select the checkbox.

    Note You can’t deactivate a division if users or lead queues are assigned to that division.
5. Click **Save**.
6. To change the order that divisions appear in the Divisions picklist, click **Sort**. Then to use the arrow buttons to move divisions higher or lower in the list.
