Departments on Desktop

Each user in CenPoint belongs to a department such as field technician, office, management, sales, shop, etc.

To get to the screen, go to File > Users, and modify a user.


The users department does not influence what the user can access in CenPoint.  Instead a users department influences which drop downs they appear in throughout CenPoint. 

To add or modify your departments go to File > List Management > Departments.

Simply use the add new, modify, and delete buttons to customize your departments.


When you modify a department, you can use the checkboxes to determine which lists users of this department will show up in.

  • Sales department: users belonging to a sales department can be added as a sales rep on the Quote.
  • Field Technician Department: users belonging to a field technician department can be added as a lead helper on a Field Ticket.
  • Supporting Department: users belonging to a supporting department can be added as a helper, but not as a lead on a Field Ticket.
  • Shop/Mechanic Department: users belonging to a Job/mechanic department can be added as a mechanic on a shop ticket.
  • Office Department: users belong to the Office or Administration Staff.
  • The last checkbox is used to limit AI scheduling to certain groups of field technicians. To learn more about AI scheduling, see AI Scheduling
