You can group departments into partitions to restrict the scope of searches. For example, you may find this facility useful if you want to restrict searching in some departments to items to and from certain other departments.

If you do not define any department partitions, the searches that you initiate in one department can include the items of employees in other departments. When you define partitions, searches are restricted to items to and from monitored employees in departments in the same partition.

You can also create department partitions by specifying the details in an XML configuration file. Then you can import this file into the Compliance Accelerator database.
