How Divisions Work

Divisions can be assigned to users and other kinds of records. For example, you can create a report to show the opportunities for just the North American division to get accurate sales numbers for the North American sales team.

  • Record-level division—Division is a field on individual records that marks the record as belonging to a particular division.
  • Default division — Users are assigned a default division that applies to their newly created accounts, leads, and custom objects that are enabled for divisions.
