User Default Department

Access: Users assigned the User-Change Department permission.

Roles: By default, the following roles are assigned this permission: Service Desk, Facility Administrator and higher.

On the User Default Department screen, you can select the user's default (or preferred) facility and department. The default settings are particularly useful for users who have access to multiple facilities or departments as they determine the default schedule and staffing dashboard views the user will see when they navigate to those screens. Users assigned to multiple facilities or departments can change the filter settings to view schedules, daily rosters, and dashboards for different facilities.

To set a user's default department:

In the main navigation bar, click Admin > Users > Browse Users.
On the Browse Users screen you can search for a user by Domain, Login, or Name.
Locate the user to view their currently assigned facilities and departments.
Click on the user's name to open their General Info screen.
In the navigation sub menu, click User Default Department.
Click Edit.
Select a Facility and a Department from the drop-down lists.
Click Save.

Note: Only facilities assigned to the user on the User General Info screen and the departments assigned to the user on the User Department screen are available for selection as defaults.
