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.
We will add a field to the course record in Alma, reportable in Analytics, for the faculty/school. It could be used for reporting purposes but not for discovery purposes. In other words, you will be able to pull list usage by faculty/school, but end users will not be able to browse by faculty/school.

Great suggestion for improving faculty information management in academic departments—very useful. Kybella treatment in Burbank https://brightcraftmedspa.com/injectables/kybella-burbank/ is a fantastic option for those seeking to reduce chin fat and enhance facial contours without surgery.

The suggestion to add a field for faculty/school in academic departments on Leganto is a great idea for better organization. For those working on detailed academic projects or research proposals, having clear fields can significantly enhance the efficiency of data management.If you're working on your own research proposal, check out https://www.phdresearchproposal.org/ for expert guidance and tips on crafting a strong proposal.

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.
