When you create a Project or an Organization, it is mandatory to associate at least one contact. It will appear on your Project page under the "Contact" tab, and will ensure there is a means of communication between the visitors and someone responsible for the Project or Organization.

Departments are sub-entries of a Contact. It is possible to create several Departments within a Contact, enabling a more targeted communication channel with specific members of a Project.
Create a Department
Click on the "show content" icon on the desired contact to show all information related to it.
![](https://help.explorer.land/media/pages/docs/adding-contacts-orgs/e63cc3af7d-1675441656/image-10.png)
On the bottom, click on the “plus” icon in the Departments section.

A form will open. Fill in the Department's Title, the name of the person representing the Department, and at least one contact field (Email, Phone or Webpage).

Sorting Departments
As with the contacts, if you have more than one department you can also change the order in which they appear. Start by clicking on the "arrows" icon.
![](https://help.explorer.land/media/pages/docs/adding-contacts-orgs/a793f7f70b-1675441656/image-13.png)
Then, on the "Reorder departments" pop-up window, use the "stripes" icon to drag and drop the departments into the desired position.
Conclude by clicking the “Save” button, or discard any changes by using the “Cancel” button.
![](https://help.explorer.land/media/pages/docs/adding-contacts-orgs/70c4c2bb51-1675441656/image-14.png)
Deleting Departments
To delete a Department simply click on the "bin" icon of that specific department (1), and conclude the action by clicking the “Delete” button (2) on the pop-up window that opens up, or discard any changes by using the “Cancel” button.
![](https://help.explorer.land/media/pages/docs/adding-contacts-orgs/fe3fcd2dc4-1675441656/image-15.png)
Managing Locations
As previously mentioned above, while editing the Contacts you can also set a location for each of them. Start by typing the relevant address in the search box that appears on the upper right side of the screen
![](https://help.explorer.land/media/pages/docs/adding-contacts-orgs/f4f1311025-1675441656/image-7.png)
When the address is found in the search results, it will appear written in the Location field and with the specific coordinates, enabling the contact's geolocation on the map. In case you don't want to have either the written address or the coordinates, you can remove them by clicking on the respective green icons.
Conclude by clicking the “Apply” button, or discard any changes by using the “Cancel” button.
![](https://help.explorer.land/media/pages/docs/adding-contacts-orgs/cae0ca78bf-1675441656/image-8.png)
If you don't like the way the address appears written, you can manually rewrite it according to your preference directly in the address field, while keeping the coordinates so that the location on the map remains intact.
Conclude by clicking the “Update Contact” button, or discard any changes by using the “Cancel” button.

Note: In the Projects (although currently not very relevant) it is important to set the Main Contact's location, for features that will be launched in the future. In the Organizations, it is important to set the Main Contact's location, to make them appear on the map of any Umbrella Organization they might be members of.
