# Add Division Flow

The Add Division flow helps company owners or admins create and configure new divisions with customized visibility, roles, and settings. Each division acts as a sub-company under the main account.

***

### Steps in the Add Division Flow

1. **Division Name**
   * Required field for identification
   * Displayed in filters, reports, and load boards
2. **Office Location**
   * Select existing office or create a new one
   * Defines default timezone and regional settings
3. **Assign Division Admin(s)**
   * At least one admin must be selected
   * Assigned admins gain access to division-level users and settings
4. **Data Visibility Mode**
   * Choose between **Shared** or **Isolated** mode
   * Impacts how loads, trucks, and payroll data are accessed (see [Shared vs Isolated Data](/carrier/company/settings/division-company/shared-vs-isolated-data.md))
5. **Payroll Setup (Optional)**
   * Define department pay types and salary logic
   * Can be inherited from the parent company or customized
