Reporting Use
Fieldmagic allows you to set-up departments for department-level reporting on Sales and Job Revenue and Statistics. This is a useful way to view the various types of services your business carries out visually on dashboard reports. To learn about Dashboard Reports, please view this article.
Department Use on Scheduling Calendar
Departments are also useful when scheduling, as their use allows you to filter your users and tasks based on the department.

This is most often used to match skills or areas (Department assigned to a User) to a Task within a department to focus in on the users that match the required tasks.
