Partner - for reporting purposes, all staff members can be assigned a Partner who is responsible for them. If you wish to use a staff member as a responsible partner, ensure Is partner in the firm is ticked for that staff member.

Manager - any staff member can be responsible for other staff members as a Manager, this is used for reporting purposes. Managers are created the same as normal staff members by following the instructions in this help topic.

Department- departments are used to group staff members within the practice (e.g. tax or accounts department). Departments are used within Time & Fees for reporting.

Category - staff categories can be used for reporting and for globally setting cost rates and charge rates for staff members on the same level (e.g. junior or partner).

Main branch - Data Centre is separate part of the IRIS software suite. It provides the ability to record  main branch on the database and associate staff with main branch.

Branches - this provides the ability to link separate branches on the database and associate staff with different branches. Each of these branches will have a separate agent address. This makes the reporting within time and fees far more specific and efficient. If either of Main Branch or Branches is populated, logged in Staff member should be able to see the clients linked that Branch. If Main Branch and Branches fields are blank, logged in Staff member should not be able to see any clients.
