Grouping units by department
A department is a location name used to identify where a unit resides, and may be named anything
you wish. For example, you may wish to assign department names such as Software Development,
Human Resources, Accounting and so on.
The department assigned to a unit may appear in the Department column of the windows listed in
Table 4.4 in a Units view. By default, the Department column is not displayed in any of the
windows, but you may add it by using the window’s Customize link. See Using the Customize link
in windows on page 15 for more information.
