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:

 

 

The listed items can be Edited () or Deleted () and you can also perform Other actions such as Export, Backup, Restore, Destroy or Clone. After clicking the 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.
