🏢 User Departments in Acquaint
Each User in Acquaint is assigned to a Department, which helps group users based on their role or function. For example, you might create separate departments for:
-
Sales
-
Lettings
This allows for better organisation and filtering across the system.
🔍 Using Departments in the Diary
User Departments can be used as a filter in the Diary screen, making it easy to view appointments and tasks by team or function. The selected filter is remembered when you exit the Diary, streamlining your workflow.

-
From the Configuration & Administration tab → Security menu

Directly from the User Settings tab on a User’s Contact record

New Departments can be created at any time
