You can create a department that conveniently pertains to a particular section of your business with no content overlapping with other departments in your business. This setup keeps the department information secure from users in other departments. Departments are an effective way to give administrators access to every feature in Perceptive Content without giving those administrators access to information and features applicable to other departments in your business.
The installation or upgrade automatically establishes a default department to work. After the installation, you can create additional departments based on logical business areas within your company. We recommend that you work in these additional departments and avoid using the default department to ensure that every department is free from external dependencies. The following sections contain information you should consider when configuring additional departments in your system.
