Departments
The Departments menu gives you access to application areas that are not accessible from your personalized user interface or from your Role Center.
The Departments window contains links to list places, task pages, and reports for all the business functionality that Microsoft Dynamics NAV provides, grouped in typical company departments.
The table of contents in Help is also organized by department, so that you can navigate Help according to a sequence of processes that are performed by one or more roles within a department. You can see the same content by role, for example to navigate Help according to the typical department processes of the role. For more information, see Roles.
The following table lists the supported departments, with links to the topics that describe them.
