department id (AnnualReview.departmentId) is a field stored on each annual review record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the annual review record's data. The departmentId field belongs to the annual review it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set departmentId while working with that AnnualReview record. Because departmentId is part of the AnnualReview record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the annual review.
