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