Finding Departments
If you can't find the department you're looking for, enter a search term in the Find: field and select Search. The table will list all departments that contain your search term on the screen.
You can click on the column headers of each table to sort the departments by that column. Clicking on a column header again will reverse the sort. Clicking on the column header a third time will remove the sort. Small arrows in the column header let you know which way the data is currently sorted.

For users this means you may have different access privileges based on the department (and role) you are assigned to. Short Name The Short Name is the abbreviation of the department's name. The short name is used on screen when space is at a premium (for example on the Initiatives screen Filter drop-down).

When the Is Active? checkbox is checked, the department is active in training development. Only active departments can be selected for initiatives.
