Section — section number

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