The Main department type determines the user fields available in the Access Manager for viewing and editing by default.

Fields visibility can also be determined by the Type of department and Operators' permissions in AM objects (see Configuring a type of department in the Access Manager and Configuring availability of fields depending on operator rights in the Access Manager). 

Fields visibility of the Main department type is only taken into account if the Main department type is selected in the Access Manager interface window when you edit department properties (see Editing a department).

You can sort alphabetically any column of the Fields and Additional fields tabs by clicking its name.

To configure the Main department type, do the following:

  1. Go to the settings panel of the Access Manager object that is created on the basis of the Display object on the Interfaces tab of the System settings window. 
  2. Go to the Fields or Additional fields tab.

  3. Available fields are displayed in the Field name column.

    For the description of fields, see Specifying user parameters.

  4. If necessary, specify the access mode and category for the required fields manually. For this:
    1. Select a user field for editing.

    2. From the Mode drop-down list, select the access mode to the user field.

    3. From the Category drop-down list, select the name of the user parameter group in the Access Manager interface window in which the field will be displayed during editing and viewing. The name of the category can be arbitrary. Categories that exist in the system are 0. Full name, 1. Personal data, 3. Vehicle, 4. Visitor data. If you don't specify a category, the field will be displayed in the parameter list in the Others category.

      Categories in the parameter list are sorted alphabetically. Use number prefixes in the name to set strict order of sorting.

  5. To add a category, click the button.
  6. Click the Apply button to save the setting.

Configuring the Main department type is complete.
