The OC Department content type is used to define and present your city departments. They provide an overview of a department, including what they do, where they are and how to contact them.
The content type is structured to give you an easy formula to follow when presenting the details of your department. Department pages have dedicated fields for the important details, such as contact details, hours of operation and department head information, and a WYSIWYG Editor for any extra information.
