Work with departments

Before you start to create accounts, consider your existing infrastructure to establish a naming convention. You may discover that you need to identify departments by a code. For example, in a large organization, you may have two departments with the same name. If there is an IT department that supports the Marketing division, and another IT organization that supports the Graphics division, identify the departments by division name and function name:

IT-MKTG and IT-GRPH

Although you can change the name of a department at any time, it is best to choose a naming convention during initial configuration. Depending on your deployment, you may have one or several Department Administrators that need to identify department names easily.
