description (AssessmentCycle.description) is a field stored on each assessment cycle 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 assessment cycle record's data. The description field belongs to the assessment cycle it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set description while working with that AssessmentCycle record. Because description is part of the AssessmentCycle record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the assessment cycle.
