How to create a Department
1. Start in SysManager > Activities > DCI (alternatively, you can click the DCIs button at the top left of the SysManager screen).
2. Click on Departments, and then click the New button.
3. You need to assign both a ten character nickname and a description for the Department. The ten character nickname is important for reporting; the description can be lengthier and is useful for operators as they view the DCI list within the software.
Note: Once a nickname is established and the department is saved, you cannot go back and edit the nickname. You can, however, edit the description.
4. If desired, you can set the role membership required to edit items within this Department.
5. Finally, you can set a Department Max4Sale limit, if so desired. A limit set at this level applies to all the items within the Department. All items contained within the Department when sold decrement the Max4Sale capability. (Checking the Enforce Max4Sale box on the item simply determines if the remaining amount displays next to the item description on the button and is used to activate real time Max4Sale capability for that item if necessary.)
