Assessment cycle — start year

start year (AssessmentCycle.startYear) 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 Int value and is part of the assessment cycle record's data. The startYear field belongs to the assessment cycle it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set startYear while working with that AssessmentCycle record. Because startYear 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.
