Departments

Learn how CommPeak account owners can create departments, assign users to them, and manage existing departments.

In Settings > Departments, you can create departments and assign users to them.

Users can be grouped into virtual departments by any criteria you need: a language, a country, an actual department, users' experience, or any other purpose.

Departments let the account owner filter support tickets and limit the visibility of tickets for other users so they see requests related to their department only.
