Taallocation — start date

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