Departments

Departments can be used to secure function privileges associated with individual job records. The department object is simply a name. To make use of a department, function privileges must be granted (refer to OpCon User Account and Role Management), and the access code must be associated with the jobs needing this type of security (refer to Jobs). A single department can be used to secure as many different jobs as necessary.

The following information applies to defining departments:

• Name: Defines the name for the defined department.
• Documentation: Provides an area for descriptions, explanations, and notes that can be updated for the department.
