Name

MF_CommitteeParticipation

Dimensional Type

Fact

Comment

Fact table holding committee-participation information for employees. Grain is one row per employee per committee per term.

Although staff/regular employees may participate on committees, their participation isn't considered part of their workload in the same way that it is for faculty, and we don't base workload calculations and key performance metrics on it.

As a result, if you do reporting based on this table, you should typically exclude non-faculty.

Reporting should generally not be done on the start and end date fields included in this table (but not exposed in views). They are mainly used for internal bookkeeping and validation.

MF_ComPart_StartDateInteger

Start date of participation instance. E.g., if a faculty member participates continuously on Admin Council for three terms, then all three records for these terms will have a start date of whenever the participation began. It's all considered to be one participation instance.

This field is typically not used for reporting, because it implies a different grain than the grain of this table, which is one row per term per committee per employee. The start date field implies a grain of one row per participation instance per committee per employee. This can be confusing for users.

DW_DateInteger

int

 

MF_ComPart_EndDateInteger

End date of participation instance. E.g., if a faculty member participates continuously on Admin Council for three terms, then all three records for these terms will have an end date of whenever the participation stopped (i.e., the same end date). It's all considered to be one participation instance.

This field is typically not used for reporting, because it implies a different grain than the grain of this table, which is one row per term per committee per employee. The end date field implies a grain of one row per participation instance per committee per employee. This can be confusing for users.
