Department field

The Department field records the department responsible for an object or activity.

How this field works

You can narrow down searches using the department field. You can restrict access to object records based on their department.

The Accession Number field is sensitive to the information in the Department field. If you have accession number formats based on department, after entering the department on the object record, the default accession number will be for that department.

Examples

• Natural Science

• Fine Art
