Departments

What are Departments?

As of the the X.1 release of the Fonality Admin Panel - a new option is available under the Extensions page.  Fonality Departments is a new way to organize the employees in your organization for the upcoming HUD3 product.

With Departments, your HUD3 Client will display all company Contacts sorted by their individual Department.  This makes it easy for larger organizations to quickly hide company contacts that they do not need constantly displayed on their screen.  All Departments show up by default, so you are not losing access to any contact, but using Departments an administrator can configure "groups" for every HUD3 Client automatically.

In the image above you can see that Fonality's Administrator has configured Departments, and all the individuals who are members of a specific Department show up in the Contacts view.  In this example, I have removed some Departments from view by un-checking the box next to a Department.  This way, I can only see the individuals that I work with most often.

Of course my other contacts have not disappeared for good, but for the moment, they are hidden from view.
