Sections are the internal areas of your organisation, or the areas of another institution. Sections are used to issue assets to, and also to determine where staff members belong in the organisational hierarchy.
If you have the Pinnacle Assets Module, you can change the name of this lookup table if the word "Section" does not define the internal structure for your organisation. For example, you can rename "Section" to "Division". You can modify the name of the Sections table from the Asset Module Defaults window.
You can enter the following information about sections:
Section - The section name identifies the section. You must enter a section name, and the section name must be unique.
Contact Name - The name of the main contact person for the section.
Position Description - The position description of the contact person for this section.
Phone Number - You can record the phone number of the person who is the contact for the section.
Position Number - The position number is specifically for Australian Government Departments, where official positions have a position number. You can record the position number of the contact person for this section.
Institution - The institution is used if the section is being recorded for an external institution. You can select an institution from the list available. The institutions are defined in the Institutions lookup table.
