Department Cleanup
I've posted about this before and I've seen other people with the same issue. The answer is always unsatisfying. But now it's a problem for me. I need a way to clean up old departments.

In our testing, a technician can go ahead and resolve a request without even bothering to complete the checklist - so what's the point?

Also, it would be great to be able to consider completion of all checklist items as the resolution and copy the checklist into the resolution field.
