Academic Departments - add field for Faculty/School
Academic Departments within institutions often sit under Faculty or School groups. This is currently not represented in Alma or Leganto. Could we have a new (optional) field added for School/Faculty both to the Academic Department area and have it available in Analytics.
This is available as of the May 2025 release, for reporting purposes only. We will add to the course loader in a future release.

This is such a smart suggestion for improving academic organization and functionality within Leganto! Streamlining departmental data truly helps everyone work more efficiently and effectively. It's remarkable how good structure, whether in systems or style, creates lasting reliability and impact. That same principle of dependable excellence applies to fashion pieces like the Macho Man Randy Savage Leather Jacket https://www.leatherjacketz.com/product/macho-man-randy-savage-leather-jacket/

Hi, apologies for delay in commentiing - yes it would still very much be useful. I suppose there will be a few aspects to consider:
1. At the most basic, a category-type analytics field which allowed groups of depts to be associated with a custom category might work for many folks and give flexibility on dashboards for example, assuming Depts>Schools or Depts-Faculty type models.
2. However there will be 'ontological oddities'; some folks have more precise needs with (dept>school>Faculty) equivalents - not suggesting the Academic Institution Internal Structure Ontology (AIISO) is a good fit, but flags some of the known issues.
3. slightly slippery slope would be other course analytics people want to/could capture (more practically useful than hours for example!)- which would be useful for admin/level of study, mode of attendance (Distance learning, part-time, and am sure many other issues.
Would be with a survey or discussion to pick out workarounds people adopt now (searchable Ids and Section ID fields being used for 'structural' organisational information.

This would be helpful, Jessie. Having two fields to group Schools together into Faculties would be great for reporting. Thanks, Kael

An update here would be useful (also admin may need to review/remove some spammy comments from last year)

I see this was going to be added to the roadmap back in Dec 2018. An update on this would be great.

Having two tiers of academic organisation would be very useful to the browsing of lists in Leganto and the management of lists.
