Outcome version — effective date

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