Department picking already exists (commit 2f2cf30, Oct 8): on the Clerical From VISUAL panel, next to Sync now, pick All departments or chips for specific departments. Notes: a department only shows if a VISUAL resource is mapped to it; the pick is saved and shared by everyone (not one-time per sync); and the sync helper still pulls all rows, so a narrow sync isn't faster. Say if one of those is what you need changed.

Correction: my earlier comment describes the old browser build (the live M: install). I haven't confirmed the PacketStation2 rebuild has department picking on Clerical sync yet. Leaving this open until it's checked in the rebuild.

Closing without changes. In PacketStation2 a department-only sync wouldn't be any faster: the worker reads every VISUAL row on each run and only filters by department afterwards, so picking fewer departments saves no time. Department scoping still exists as an Admin feed setting (Admin > feed settings > Departments) for anyone who wants it. The earlier note about the old build's Clerical chips doesn't apply here.
