In
ContactsLaw, a
department is a mechanism for grouping and classifying
workgroups. Departments themselves exhibit very little behaviour and do not influence the workgroups contained within them:
- You can report performance and CRM statistics on a departmental basis.
- Departments can be associated with one or more companies, affecting the visibility of all workgroups within them.
- Workgroup tabs open inside department tabs, as file tabs open inside contact tabs.
For administrative purposes, you can nominate a manager for each department. Department managers are granted full access to departmental reports and management settings. The practice-wide "workgroup administration" permission implicitly grants access to all departments. Other members must be granted access via the Permissions tab.
