You use the Departments menu to access parts of the application that are not included in your personalized UI.
Every user is assigned a job-related profile by their administrator. Your profile gives you a Role Center and one or more menus that give you access to the tasks, lists, reports, and documents that you need most often. In addition, all users have access to the Departments menu.
From the Departments menu, you can navigate to everything in Microsoft Dynamics NAV that you have access to, including setup and configuration windows.
Navigating in the Departments Menu
When you choose the Departments button, you can choose from a list of departments and sub-departments. The department pages display links to list places, task pages, reports, and so on. The links are organized by category. To see all of the links for a sub-department, choose the sub-department. To see one category of links for an entire department, choose the category.
