@Deepika61

got it.

so you want to see only those departments where there is at least some user.

then use this advanced ref qualifier

and invoke it like this

javascript&colon; fetchDepartments()

function fetchDepartments(){
	var arr = [];

	var gr = new GlideRecord("cmn_department");
	gr.query();
	while (gr.next()) {

		var user = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
		user.addQuery('department', gr.getUniqueValue());
		user.setLimit(1);
		user.query();
		if(user.hasNext())
			arr.push(gr.getUniqueValue());
	}

	return 'sys_idIN' + arr.toString();

}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
