Departments

Departments allow you to control which rules are applicable to individual users. For example you could have a set of rules only for your Ticketing department and another set of rules that are only for the team looking after a particular client.

Delete Department

A department cannot be deleted while currently assigned to either a User or Rule. All Users/Rules must be edited to use other departments before a department can successfully be deleted. Attempts to delete a department that is assigned to a User or Rule will cause the system to display a list of all affected Users and Rules. This can help in the task of modifying the Users and Rules.

To delete a department, select the department name from the Maintain Departments Screen and click Delete.

The above confirmation screen appears.

To confirm the deletion select Yes and the department will be deleted.

If the department is currently assigned to a User or Rule, then the above screen appears.

Edit the Users and Rules displayed in the message box and change the department they are assigned to. Repeat the above process and the Department will be deleted.

The Maintain Departments screen reappears. Repeat steps 1-3 on any other departments that require deleting. Once complete, select [Finish] to return to the main PNR Watcher screen, or remain in the Maintain Departments screen to Create or Edit further departments.
