Type of department determines the user fields available for viewing and editing in the Access Manager interface window.

To configure a type of department, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel of the Type of department object that is created on the basis of the Access Manager object.
   
2. You can change the department icon in the Access Manager window. For this, do the following:
   1. Right-click the icon in the lower left corner. Select Change icon in the menu.
      
   2. In the Icon selection window that opens, select the department icon.
      
3. For convenience of configuring the availability of the main fields, select template types of departments. For this, do the following:
   1. Right-click the icon in the lower left corner. Select Set defaults in the menu.
   2. Select the template of the department type. Templates of the following department types are available: Employees, Visitors, Vehicle. As a result, the Fields and Additional fields tabs will contain values according to the selected template.
4. If necessary, specify the access mode and category for the required fields manually. For this, do the following:
   1. Select a user field for editing. 

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

      Value	Description
      Hidden	Field isn't displayed in the list of user parameters when viewing and editing
      Read only	Field is displayed in the list of user parameters when viewing and editing, but it isn't editable
      Edit	Field is displayed in the list of user parameters when viewing and editing, and it is editable. Note. The Card issued by and Access level assigned by fields are always not editable as these fields are automatically filled with the name of the Operator when assigning/changing card or access level
      Mandatory	Field is mandatory when creating and editing a user in the Access Manager module. Field that isn't filled in is highlighted with red asterisks

      See the description of fields in Specifying user parameters.

   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 like in templates.

5. To add a category, click the button.
6. If it is necessary for this type of department to have its own parameters of access cards, make the appropriate settings on the Cards tab (see Configuring access cards).
7. Click the Apply button to save the settings.

Configuring a type of department is complete.
