Here you can see a list of departments available in your on-line store. Departments are used for organizing your product management efforts as they enable you to specify users responsible for the management of products in a particular department. This means you can have a different product manager e.g. for the books and for the electronics departments.

 

If global departments are allowed for the current site (CMS Desk -> E-commerce -> Configuration -> Store settings -> Global objects or Site Manager -> Settings -> E-commerce -> Global objects), the Site drop-down list is visible enabling you to view global departments, current site departments or a mix of global and current site departments. However, if global departments are not allowed for the current site, only departments created on the current site can be viewed. If available, the Site drop-down list offers you the following options:

 

(global and this site)

Both global and current site departments are listed. The option does not allow to create a new department.

(global)

Only global departments are listed. The option allows to create a new global department by clicking the AddNewDepartment New department button.

current site

Only current site departments are listed. The option allows to create a new site department by clicking the AddNewDepartment New department button.

 

The listed items can be Edited (Edit) or Deleted (Delete) and you can also perform OtherActions Other actions such as ExportObject Export, Backup Backup, Restore Restore, Delete Destroy or Clone Clone. After clicking the ArrowBottom icon in the header of the Actions column, a context menu is displayed, offering options for export of listed data to various types of files.

 

More information about the use of global objects in your on-line store can be found in E-commerce Guide -> Configuring your store -> Multisite store.
