In a Nutshell
A Department in Quartz refers to a distinct entity which either manages specific customer or handles relevant functions(like Support). The Departments section allows partners to organize feedback and issues efficiently by categorizing them based on different departments. This streamlines the process of managing customer feedback and internal bug reports. Each department has its unique recording page whose URL has to be shared with the concerned customers to gather feedback.
Availability
This feature is available across all DCs(US, EU, IN, AU, CN, JP, SA, and CA)
Overview
In Zoho Quartz, Departments are essential organizational units that allow partners to efficiently categorize feedback by creating distinct departments for customer support and internal quality assurance. Partners can create as many departments as per their requirements. By grouping feedback by department and adding users to it, partners can handle large volumes of submissions from customers more effectively.
