At a high-level, branches are a way to allow additional granularity for departments. They are configured here in the Report Manager Settings screen.

To enable branches (sub-departments), select the checkbox. If enabled, you can enter a label to use instead of Branch. For example, you might call them Divisions, or Business Units instead of Branches.

Branches will be displayed to Contributors when writing reports, therefore is it important to ensure that your Branches are clear and easily identifiable to all users.
