Department groups

A department group is a specified set of departments, or a set of departments that meet certain criteria. You can use groups to filter or display information in multiple ways, for instance by showing data from only certain departments.

List department groups

get/objects/company-config/department-group

Returns up to 100 department groups from the collection with a key, ID, and link for each group. This operation is mostly for use in testing; use the query service to find department groups that meet certain criteria and specify the properties that are returned.
