Calculated Field: Cost Center

To build the Cost center calculated field, we'll go to the admin tab and search calculated fields.

Next we'll create a new calculated field.

In this case, the object type that we want to create this on is based on the job.

We'll go ahead and give this a title like Cost Center.

And in this case we're looking for the Filter Bucket field type.

Let's click Create.

Next let's go ahead and add our first bucket.

In this case we would enter in our Cost center title.

This will obviously be unique to every organization.

So I'm just going to title mine Cost Center A.

And in this case I'm ready to map different departments into my Cost Center.

So I'll add a field to match and I'll search for the word department.

Next I'll define which department map to Cost Center A.

In this case I'll call it Design and Engineering.

I'll go ahead and add another bucket.

In this case I'll title it Cost Center B.

Again you would add the Cost Center.

That makes sense for your organization.

And in this case I'll select the departments that map to Cost Center B.

Let's go ahead and add People and Product.

Let's add one more Cost center just for the demonstration.

We'll call it Cost Center C.

And we'll again map the appropriate departments.

In this case just Sales.

go ahead and click Save.

now I could create reporting based on hires, open jobs and more.

Grouping the information by the Cost Center I've mapped here.
