You can now fill in the position details.
A position can have an expiry date. Once this date has been passed the position is no longer shown on the organization chart.
Vacant positions differ from temporary positions by providing a Register Interest link within the positions box.
Pressing the link records the email and date of the person who registered an interest. This information can only be viewed by the chart administrators.
