One of the great features of FX is the ability to restrict financial report access to the user's assigned departments. This assignment is done by user SYS in the Financial Reporter by right-clicking on any department in the View | Departments list, and selecting "Edit user departmental restrictions", then ticking the appropriate boxes.

When assigning departments to a user, the individual departments and departmental ranges both show up to be ticked. However, it turns out that ticking a departmental range does nothing; the individual departments must be ticked in order to assign departments to a user.

There are two possibilities here - either Softrak intended to allow assigning at the individual departmental only, and the departmental ranges should not be displayed on the list, or Softrak intended to allow assigning at the departmental range level, and it is not working properly.

I'm hoping it's the latter, and that Softrak will get it working properly, because maintaining the departmental restrictions at an individual level can become a very tedious process when there are lots of users and departments.

But if it's the former, please remove the bogus departmental ranges from the list to avoid confusion.

This might apply to Ledger as well - I have not tested it out.

Thanks
