A default department named All is created during the initial onboarding process. Departments serve as logical user groups, allowing you to configure:

1. User Prompts: Assign specific scripts for department users to follow during calls.
2. Receipt of Transaction Reports: Configure who receives transaction or daily reconciliation reports.
3. Department Phone Number (Optional): Define a trusted number for department calls.
4. Department Email Address: Specify an email address to receive transaction reports; defaults to the administrator's email.
