How do I manage departments and reporting lines in Tazk Payroll?

It has four tabs: Org Chart shows headcount and every department with its employees; Departments lets you add, nest and drag departments into order; Cost Centers holds budgets and shows how much is spent; and Reporting Manager shows who reports to whom and lets you drag one employee card onto another to change it.
