A Yes/No flag indicating whether the Penn Profiler system may feed to Knowledge Link any records that it creates to assign courses to the person as a trainee. See also DATE_LAST_ASSIGNED_TO_PROFILER and LAST_CERTIFICATION_DATE.

In Knowledge Link, courses are assigned to business units, not to the trainees themselves. To enable courses to be assigned to individual trainees, a unique personal business unit has been created for each Penn Community member that has a FAC, STAF, or STU affiliation, or an auxiliary affiliation. (For the list of auxiliary affiliations, see PENN_COMMUNITY_MEMBER_STATUS.) These unique personal business units have identifiers that start with UP. If a Profiler user is a University of Pennsylvania Health System employee, but has not been assigned to a unique UP personal business unit in Knowledge Link, Profiler cannot feed Knowledge Link course assignments for the individual. For more information on business units, see the documentation on KNODE.IDENTIFIER.

ASSIGNMENT_FEED_ELIGIBLE is '.' if EXTRACT_SOURCE is 'L'.

Values:
Y (the Penn Profiler may feed course assignments for this 
   person to Knowledge Link)

N (the Penn Profiler may not feed course assignments for 
   this person to Knowledge Link because the person has 
   not been assigned to a unique UP personal business unit)

. (the Penn Profiler may not feed course assignments for this 
   person to Knowledge Link because the person has no record
   in the Penn Profiler system)

The date when the Penn Profiler system last fed to Knowledge Link a course assignment record indicating that the person is currently required to take the Profiler survey. The value is null for some LMS_PERSON records. See also ASSIGNMENT_FEED_ELIGIBLE, NOTIFICATION_EMAIL, NOTIFICATION_REQUIRED, and LAST_CERTIFICATION_DATE.

Given the person’s responses to the survey questions about his or her academic activities and job responsibilities, Profiler determines the training courses that the person is currently required to take, and feeds the course assignments to Knowledge Link. Those who are currently required to take the Profiler survey ought to complete it at least once a year. They are also required to re-take the survey when there is a change in their academic activities or job responsibilities. University employees are required to re-take the survey when there is a change in the job class or the org. for their job appointment(s).

Example: 4/23/2008

Values:
List of values not available

The most recent date when the person's current job appointment began. This could be the date the person was hired to work in his or her current job department, or the date the person transferred into his or her current job department. (This is also stored in the Data Warehouse in CUSTOM_DATA.CUSTOM_V10.)

Currently, DEPT_START_DATE is used only for employees of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS), and indicates the most recent date when the person began working in his or her current UPHS department. See also UPHS_DEPARTMENT_CODE, UPHS_DEPARTMENT_NAME, and UPHS_DEPARTMENT_NAME_AS_IS.

DEPT_START_DATE is null for some UPHS employees. It is also null for people that are not UPHS employees. (Note: a person may be both a UPHS employee and a University employee.)

Sometimes, when a mandatory course is assigned to a UPHS business unit, not all of the people included in the business unit are required to take the course; some are "grandfathered". (For information on the inclusion of people in business units, see KNODE_USER_JOIN.KNODE_ID.) One of the tests for determining whether a particular person is grandfathered for a given course is to compare the person's DEPT_START_DATE with the effective date of the course assignment. If the person's DEPT_START_DATE falls before the effective date, the person is grandfathered. For more information on grandfathering, see the Caution regarding the GRANDFATHERING_VALUE in the documentation for the COURSE_OBJECT table.

A numeric value that uniquely identifies the Knowledge Link user within the Penn Profiler system.

The Penn Profiler system ("Profiler") is an online survey that presents a Profiler user with a customized set of questions about the respondent's academic activities and job responsibilities. Based on the responses to the questions, Profiler determines the training courses or packages (if any) that the respondent is currently required to complete, and transmits the relevant assignments to Knowledge Link (the learning management system used by the University and by the University of Pennsylvania Health System). Profiler also identifies the Profiler users that need to (re-) take the survey, and transmits the Profiler assignments to Knowledge Link. (Knowledge Link treats the Profiler online survey as a course.)

See also the PROFILER_USER_QUESTIONNAIRE, PROFILER_USER_ANSWER, and PROFILER_ASSIGNMENTS tables.

If the person is a Knowledge Link user, but not a Penn Profiler user, HIBERNATE_ID is null. See also EXTRACT_SOURCE.

For other data elements that uniquely identify the person, see PENN_ID, PENNKEY, USER_REC_ID, and UPHS_EMPLOYEE_NUMBER.

Example: 1861849

The date when the person last took the Profiler survey and certified that he or she had completed the survey and had given accurate responses to the survey questions. LAST_CERTIFICATION_DATE is null for some LMS_PERSON records. See also ASSIGNMENT_FEED_ELIGIBLE.

Given the responses to its survey questions about the person's academic activities and job responsibilities, the Penn Profiler system determines the training courses that the person is currently required to take, and feeds the course assignments to Knowledge Link. Those who are currently required to take the Profiler survey ought to complete it at least once a year. They are also required to re-take the survey when there is a change in their academic activities or job responsibilities. University employees are required to re-take the survey when there is a change in the job class or the org. for their job appointment(s).

Given the responses to its survey questions about the person's academic activities and job responsibilities, the Penn Profiler system determines the training courses that the person is currently required to take, and feeds the course assignments to Knowledge Link. Those who are currently required to take the Profiler survey ought to complete it at least once a year. They are also required to re-take the survey when there is a change in their academic activities or job responsibilities. University employees are required to re-take the survey when there is a change in the job class or the org. for their job appointment(s). The Penn Profiler system automatically e-mails a notification to the person when he or she needs to take (or re-take) the survey. After the person completes the survey, the Penn Profiler system automatically e-mails the person a notification listing all of the currently required courses that Profiler assigned to him or her, flagging those that the person is required to complete as soon as possible. That notification also lists otherwise assigned courses that the person is required to complete as soon as possible.

An upper case letter indicating whether or not the person is an active user of the Knowledge Link and/or Penn Profiler systems. An active user is an active member of the Penn Community that has at least one active affiliation that is relevant to Knowledge Link. (The status information for Knowledge Link users is also stored in the Data Warehouse in GEN21_USER.STATUS, where 1 or 0 indicates whether the user is active or inactive.)

A person who has a Penn Community affiliation is associated with the University of Pennsylvania in a particular way. A person can have multiple Penn Community affiliations, but not all affiliations are relevant to Knowledge Link. An affiliation is relevant if persons with that affiliation have their training records and current training assignments stored in Knowledge Link. The following Penn Community affiliations are relevant to Knowledge Link:

• University affiliations:
  • FAC (Faculty) a subset of University employees

The LMS_PERSON table has one record per PENN_ID.

• For most LMS_PERSON records, PENN_ID is an 8-digit identification number assigned to the person by the Penn Community system. No two persons have the same Penn ID. (The Penn IDs for Knowledge Link users are also stored in the Data Warehouse in GEN21_USER.USER_NUMBER.)
• Some LMS_PERSON records store information for Knowledge Link administrator user IDs. For those records, PENN_ID is not really a Penn ID, but a code that begins with a letter and is unique in the LMS_PERSON table.

Most tables in the Data Warehouse use PENN_ID as the unique identifier for a person. This facilitates joining tables with data that pertains to people, regardless of whether those tables are in the same data collection.

For other data elements that uniquely identify the person, see PENNKEY, USER_REC_ID, HIBERNATE_ID, and UPHS_EMPLOYEE_NUMBER.

Example: 12345678

Values:
List of values not available

For most LMS_PERSON records, PENNKEY stores the person's Penn Key, a unique name (attributable to a single individual) that serves as the Kerberos Principal and as a user name (logon ID) for the individual. The PennKey (along with the PennKey password) is used to authenticate the person's identity when he or she accesses certain University systems and services, such as Knowledge Link and the Penn Profiler system.

Some LMS_PERSON records store information for Knowledge Link administrator user IDs. For those records, PENNKEY stores the user ID.

The PENNKEY value may be stored in upper or lower case, and may include letters and numerals.

The PENNKEYs for Knowledge Link users are also stored in the Data Warehouse in GEN21_USER.GEN21_USER_NAME.

For other data elements that uniquely identify the person, see PENN_ID, USER_REC_ID, HIBERNATE_ID, and UPHS_EMPLOYEE_NUMBER.

Example: franklin; ADAMSA1

Values:
List of values not available

A string that uniquely identifies the person's primary Knowledge Position (KP), the business unit to which the person is primarily assigned in Knowledge Link. (This is also stored in the Data Warehouse in CUSTOM_DATA.CUSTOM_V21.) The PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_ID value corresponds to a KNODE.IDENTIFIER. See also PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_NAME, PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_NUMBER, and TRAINEE_ORG_BU_ID.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. A Knowledge Position (KP) is the only type of business unit to which a person can be directly assigned. (That is, the KNODE_USER_JOIN record cites the KP.) A KP may correspond to

• a person that is a Penn Community member with a FAC, STAF, or STU affiliation, or with an auxiliary affiliation. (For the list of auxiliary affiliations, see PENN_COMMUNITY_MEMBER_STATUS.)
• a person that is a University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) nurse
• a bureaucratic group that reflects an administrative subdivision used for UPHS employees
• one of a number of privileged groups that classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system

A Knowledge Link user can be assigned to more than one KP. For example, John Doe could be assigned to one KP as a student and to another as a University employee with a FAC or STAF affiliation in the Penn Community. Jane Smith could be assigned to one KP as a UPHS employee, and to another as an auxiliary member of the Penn Community. A UPHS nurse is assigned both to a business unit in the entity/department hierarchy and to a business unit in a separate sub-branch for the Nursing Community. Roughly speaking, if the person has more than one active KP assignment, the primary one is the active KP for the person's

• FAC or STAF affiliation in the Penn Community, or
• UPHS departmental trainee group, or
• STU affiliation in the Penn Community, or
• auxiliary affiliation in the Penn Community

A course can be assigned to a KP either directly (where the KNODE_CRS_JOIN record cites the KP) or indirectly (where the KNODE_CRS_JOIN record cites a business unit that is above the KP in the business unit hierarchy). For more information on the business unit hierarchy, see the documentation on PARENT_ID and TYPE in the KNODE table.

The PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_ID may include letters and/or numerals and/or other characters. The letters may be in upper case, lower case, or mixed case. The PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_ID for a UPHS business unit begins with HS; for a University or auxiliary business unit, it begins with UP. One of the qualifiers in a PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_ID may be the Penn ID, which is an 8-digit identification number assigned to an individual by the Penn Community system. No two persons have the same Penn ID.

Most PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_ID values are determined in the manner described below.

University primary business units

• employee with a FAC or STAF affiliation in the Penn Community: UP.Penn ID
  • example: UP.12345678
• student: UP.Penn ID.STU
  • example: UP.23456789.STU

UPHS primary business units

• departmental trainee group: HS.entity.department.jobclass
  • example: HS.CRDTA.SUORA.A62
  • Entities are also known as process levels. Entities consist of departments (also known as cost centers or accounting units).

• UP.Penn ID.AUX
  • example: UP.34567890.AUX

Values:

A Knowledge Link user can be assigned to more than one KP. For example, John Doe could be assigned to one KP as a student and to another as a University employee with a FAC or STAF affiliation in the Penn Community. Jane Smith could be assigned to one KP as a UPHS employee, and to another as an auxiliary member of the Penn Community. A UPHS nurse is assigned both to a business unit in the entity/department hierarchy and to a business unit in a separate sub-branch for the Nursing Community.

The date and time when the person's user record was last updated in the Penn Profiler system. The value might be null for some LMS_PERSON records.

Given the responses to its survey questions about the person's academic activities and job responsibilities, the Penn Profiler system determines the training courses that the person is currently required to take, and feeds the course assignments to Knowledge Link. Those who are currently required to take the Profiler survey ought to complete it at least once a year. They are also required to re-take the survey when there is a change in their academic activities or job responsibilities. University employees are required to re-take the survey when there is a change in the job class or the org. for their job appointment(s).

Business Objects hint: to select records for a particular date (say, 7/21/2008), set your query conditions to PROFILER_DATE_LAST_EDITED is greater than or equal to 7/21/2008 and PROFILER_DATE_LAST_EDITED is less than 7/22/2008. (The system will supply the time--12:00:00 AM--for both dates.) By default, just the date will appear in your report, but you can change the format of the cell to show just the time, if you so desire.

Example: 7/21/2008 3:32:34 AM

Comments stored in the person's user record in Knowledge Link. (This is also stored in the Data Warehouse in GEN21_USER.REMARKS.) The value is usually null.

Example: This is a generic trainer for EHRS.

Values:
List of values not available.

The e-mail address of the person’s department chair, project principal investigator (PI), manager, or supervisor, as entered by the person the last time that he or she completed the Penn Profiler survey. The value is usually, but not always, a valid e-mail address. (The person might not have entered a fully qualified e-mail address, or might have made a typographical error when entering his or her supervisor's e-mail address.) SUPERVISOR_EMAIL may be stored in upper case, lower case, or mixed case.

SUPERVISOR_EMAIL is null if the person has never completed the Profiler survey. If the person has completed the Profiler survey more than once, SUPERVISOR_EMAIL data is not available for the surveys completed before the latest one. See also LAST_CERTIFICATION_DATE.

LMS_PERSON records for some people (such as housekeeping staff) might have a value for SUPERVISOR_EMAIL even though they have no value for EMAIL_ADDRESS and/or NOTIFICATION_EMAIL.

The value of SUPERVISOR_EMAIL is keyed in by hand, not selected from a list of values. It is the answer entered for the last question on the Profiler survey, which asks for the e-mail address of the person's department chair, project PI, manager, or supervisor. Faculty taking the survey are instructed to provide the e-mail address of their department chair. Staff (including temporary staff) are instructed to provide the e-mail address of their primary manager. Given the responses to its survey questions about the person's academic activities and job responsibilities, the Penn Profiler system determines the training courses that the person is currently required to take, and feeds the course assignments to Knowledge Link. Once a week, the Penn Profiler system e-mails notifications to the SUPERVISOR_EMAIL addresses specified in the surveys that were completed since the last such notifications were sent. The notifications list the people that completed those surveys, and include a link to a report that can be run to check the status of their currently required courses in Knowledge Link.

A string that uniquely identifies the person's Trainee Org./BU, the business unit for the primary administrative group to which the person belongs. The TRAINEE_ORG_BU_ID value corresponds to a KNODE.IDENTIFIER. It may include letters and/or numerals and/or other characters. The letters may be in upper case, lower case, or mixed case. See also TRAINEE_ORG_BU_NAME, TRAINEE_ORG_BU_NUMBER, and PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_ID.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. A Trainee Org./BU corresponds to a departmental trainee group of University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, to a University Organization (org.), or to an auxiliary Penn Community affiliation. (Auxiliary members of the Penn Community are persons whose training records and current training assignments are stored in Knowledge Link, but who are not UPHS employees or persons with a FAC, STAF, or STU affiliation.)

A Knowledge Position (KP) is the only type of business unit to which a person can be directly assigned. (That is, the KNODE_USER_JOIN record cites the KP.) A Knowledge Link user can be assigned to more than one KP. PRIMARY_BUSINESS_UNIT_ID indicates the person’s primary KP. If the person’s primary KP corresponds to a departmental trainee group of UPHS employees, the person’s Trainee Org./BU is the same as his or her primary KP. However, in many cases, the person’s primary KP is a business unit that includes only that person. In those cases, the person’s Trainee Org./BU is business unit that is the parent of the person’s primary KP—one step above that KP in the business unit hierarchy. (For more information on the business unit hierarchy, see the documentation on PARENT_ID and TYPE in the KNODE table.)

Most TRAINEE_ORG_BU_ID values are determined in the manner described below.
