Type of department determines 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. From the Icon drop-down list (1), select the icon for displaying the department in the Access Manager window.
3. For convenience of configuring the availability of the main fields, select template types of departments. For this, do the following:
   1. From the Template drop-down list (2), select the required template of department type. Templates of following department types are available: Employees, Visitors, Vehicle.

   2. Click the Apply button (3) to apply the template. As a result, the Fields and Additional fields tabs will contain values according to the selected template.

      After you click the Apply button (3), the settings of the Type of department object aren't saved. This button only changes values of fields to the specified values in the template. These settings will be applied after you click the Apply button after completing all field settings.

      
      

4. If necessary, specify the visibility and editability of each field manually. For this, do the following:

   1. In the column (5), from the drop-down list, select one of the following values:

      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.

   2. In the Category column (6), enter 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. 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. 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).
6. Click the Apply button to save the settings.
