# Add a position

**For:** Manager | Admin
**You'll need:** At least one location.

You'll create a new position, pick its color, link it to locations, and set headcount thresholds.

## Open the position form

2. Click **'Add new position'** in the top-right.

## Fill in the basics

1. Enter a **'Name'**.
2. Pick a **'Color'** from the preset palette — this is the color shifts of this position will use on the calendar.
3. Open the **'Locations'** dropdown and pick the locations where this position is offered.
4. (Optional) Add **'Notes'**.

## Set headcount

1. Enter the **'Minimum headcount'** — the floor below which a shift counts as understaffed.
2. Enter the **'Target headcount'** — the desired number.
3. Enter the **'Maximum headcount'** — the ceiling above which a shift counts as overstaffed.
4. Click **'Save'**.

## Verify it worked

The new position appears at **Company → Positions** with its color swatch and locations.
