Hi @matthew_hughes,
Whilst there are a few factors on how to separate out different 'List Layouts' (As outlined below such as for different views or domains), when it's for the same table (In your case the department field), sadly, unless a user has personalized their list, the view is the same across the whole platform for the same table - there is no way to change it.
The factors of where things differ: (The configurations are stored within the sys_ui_list table)
- User field: Being empty applies the list layout for all users. (Personalized lists will have this field value referred to certain users, respectively)
- Table field: List layout is specific to a table.
- View field: List layout will be specific to a view (such as Default view, Mobile view, or any custom view defined)
- Domain field: List layout will be specific to a domain.
The only other thing you could think about would be to implement your own modal - this will however require a lot more effort and customization.
So in summary - sadly, when you configure list layout (and where a user has not personalized it) - the same view and columns are displays platform wide to all users (apart form those who have personalized or where the factors above come into play)
