Hey Franz,

Thanks for the reply, the structure is indeed the second scenario, a 
employee knows about the department. Would you be able to give me some 
sample code on how this would work with the groupedForViewHelper?

Im hoping this would help me get this done, because it is just taking to 
much time figuring this stuff out.

Thnx,
