  4. Find department of the user - use it to route workflows depending on the originating user deparment or to check that the workflow can only be initiated by a specific department, for instance.

SharePoint Templates: Preformatted document libraries for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and SharePoint Server 2007
When you install this download, you can add preformatted document libraries to your Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server site.This download contains templates for the following document libraries:
  • Invoices
  • Specifications
  • Press releases
  • Customer site visit reports
  • Meeting notes
Each library is configured with a Microsoft Office Word 2007 template that generates a new document in the library when the user clicks New on the library page. Each Word template includes a mechanism for binding data in the library with data in the body of each document.
For example, in the Invoice library, the “amount due” property in the library is populated with the “amount due” data in each of the invoices. You can set up views of the library to see reports of the data that is stored in the documents — in this example, the total amount due for all payable invoices.
