**Add:** If the restaurant is added but My Dept is not selected, you have access to see / create tasks for that location but will not see all activity on your homescreen.

**My Dept:**  When 'My Dept' is checked off, you will see all activity of that location your OwlOps homepage

**CC All:** If selected, that user will receive notifications any time a task is created, updated, closed (even if they are not directly involved in the task).
