The name of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) manager of the business unit member (BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_ID). The name is stored in upper case. It may be preferable to select and sort records based on the name in upper case rather than in mixed case.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. Most business units correspond to bureaucratic groups that reflect various administrative subdivisions used for University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, University employees, University students, and auxiliary members of the Penn Community (members 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). Some business units denote privileged groups, used to classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system. Business units are arranged in a hierarchy. (See BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_NUMBER and BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_TYPE_DESC.) The members of business unit group X are business unit X itself and all of the business units that fall below it in the hierarchy. The LMS_BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP table has one record per combination of business unit group and business unit member.

The manager is the person responsible for the UPHS department. (Also known as a cost center or accounting unit, a department is a subdivision of a UPHS entity or process level.) The manager is authorized to use Knowledge Link to run the Entity Administrator Report, which provides information on the compliancy of courses for UPHS departments, and the users within those departments. See also BU_MEMBER_UPHS_MANAGER_AS_IS, BU_MEMBER_UPHS_MANAGER_PENNID, and BU_MEMBER_UPHS_ADMINISTRATOR. Further information on the manager is available in the LMS_PERSON table.

BU_MEMBER_UPHS_MANAGER is used for business unit members that correspond to UPHS departments. Its value is null for other UPHS business unit members, and for all University business unit members.

A number used to uniquely identify the business unit group within the Knowledge Link system. See also BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_ID and BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_NAME.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. Most business units correspond to bureaucratic groups that reflect various administrative subdivisions used for University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, University employees, University students, and auxiliary members of the Penn Community (members 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). Some business units denote privileged groups, used to classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system.

Business units are arranged in a hierarchy. The members of business unit group X are business unit X itself and all of the business units that fall below it in the hierarchy. The LMS_BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP table has one record per combination of business unit group and business unit member. (See also BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_NUMBER.)

The business unit hierarchy is based on the hierarchies of the administrative groupings in the source systems, as described briefly below. (See also BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_TYPE_DESC.)

University business units

• Business units for University orgs. follow the University's org. hierarchy. A business unit for a University employee with a FAC or STAF affiliation in the Penn Community has as its parent the business unit for the employee's home org. (The home org. is the organization that owns the employee's record and is responsible for its maintenance in the payroll system.)
  • For information on orgs., see the General Ledger data collection's documentation on the ORG_CODES table; the documentation on its PARENT_ORG_CODE data element describes the org. hierarchy. For information on University employees, see the Salary Management data collection's documentation on EMPLOYEE_GENERAL.
• The business unit for a University major has as its parent the business unit for the University academic division that offers the major.
  • For information on academic divisions and majors, see the Student data collection's documentation on the DIVISION and MAJOR tables (updated nightly).
• The business unit hierarchy for University students parallels the hierarchy for the academic divisions and majors. A business unit for a University student has as its parent the UP.STU- business unit for the student's primary major in his or her primary academic division, per the SRS_DIVISION and SRS_MAJOR in the record for the student in the Penn Community AFFILIATION table.

UPHS business units

• Most Health System business units use the same hierarchy as for the UPHS entities (also known as process levels) and departments (also known as a cost centers or accounting units).
• The UPHS branch of the business unit hierarchy has a separate sub-branch for Knowledge Microcommunities. (See also TYPE.)
• 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.

Auxiliary business units

• A business unit has been created for each auxiliary Penn Community affiliation. The business unit for a Knowledge Link user with an auxiliary affiliation has as its parent the UP.AUX- business unit for the user's auxiliary Penn Community affiliation (per the Penn Community AFFILIATION table).
  • For the list of auxiliary affiliations, see the documentation on LMS_PERSON.PENN_COMMUNITY_MEMBER_STATUS.

A code that indicates the ultimate source of the information on the business unit group (BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_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. Most business units correspond to bureaucratic groups that reflect various administrative subdivisions used for University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, University employees, University students, and auxiliary members of the Penn Community (members 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). Some business units denote privileged groups, used to classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system. Business units are arranged in a hierarchy. (See BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_NUMBER and BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_TYPE_DESC.) The members of business unit group X are business unit X itself and all of the business units that fall below it in the hierarchy. The LMS_BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP table has one record per combination of business unit group and business unit member.

Values:
HS (the University of Pennsylvania Health System)

A letter that indicates whether the business unit group (BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_ID) is active or inactive. See also BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_TYPE_DESC.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. Most business units correspond to bureaucratic groups that reflect various administrative subdivisions used for University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, University employees, University students, and auxiliary members of the Penn Community (members 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). Some business units denote privileged groups, used to classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system.

The members of business unit group X are business unit X itself and all of the business units that fall below it in the hierarchy. The LMS_BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP table has one record per combination of business unit group and business unit member.

If BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_NUMBER = BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_NUMBER, BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_STATUS also indicates whether the business unit member is active or inactive. An active group may have inactive members, and an inactive group may have active members.

A business unit must be active if a record is to be created to assign a Knowledge Link user or course to the business unit. (See the KNODE_USER_JOIN and KNODE_CRS_JOIN tables.) Also, a business unit must be active if a record is to be created or updated to name the business unit as the owner of a course version or package. (See the COURSE_OBJECT, LMS_COURSE_MASTER, and PKG tables.) Once a business unit has been named as the owner of a course version or package, it retains ownership even if it becomes inactive.

Values:
A (the business unit group is active)
I (the business unit group is inactive)

An abbreviation (in upper case) of the BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_TYPE_DESC (the description of the business unit group's type). The type determines whether and how Knowledge Link users and courses can be assigned to the business unit group (BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_ID). See also BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_TYPE_CODE and BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_STATUS.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. Most business units correspond to bureaucratic groups that reflect various administrative subdivisions used for University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, University employees, University students, and auxiliary members of the Penn Community (members 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). Some business units denote privileged groups, used to classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system. Business units are arranged in a hierarchy. (See BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_NUMBER.) The members of business unit group X are business unit X itself and all of the business units that fall below it in the hierarchy. The LMS_BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP table has one record per combination of business unit group and business unit member.

There are three types of business units:

• Knowledge Position (KP)
  • A Knowledge Link user can be assigned to it directly. That is, the KNODE_USER_JOIN record cites the KP.
  • A course can be assigned to it either directly (where the KNODE_CRS_JOIN record cites the KP) or indirectly (where the KNODE_CRS_JOIN record cites a Knowledge Community or Knowledge Microcommunity that is above the KP in the business unit hierarchy).
• Knowledge Community (KC)--a group of KPs, corresponding to a University org., academic division, or major; to a University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) entity (process level) or department (cost center or accounting unit); or to an auxiliary Penn Community affiliation. (Auxiliary members of the Penn Community are members 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 Link user cannot be assigned to a KC directly. A KC includes a user if the user has a KNODE_USER_JOIN record that cites a KP that is below the KC in the business unit hierarchy.
  • A course may be assigned to a KC either directly (where the KNODE_CRS_JOIN record cites the KC) or indirectly (where the KNODE_CRS_JOIN record cites a BU that is above the KC in the business unit hierarchy).
• Knowledge Microcommunity (KMC)--a group of KPs that was created to allow courses to be assigned to Knowledge Link users from unrelated UPHS departments (also known as cost centers or accounting units)

Knowledge Position

A string that uniquely identifies the business unit member to Knowledge Link users. See also BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_NUMBER and BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_NAME.

The BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_ID may include letters and/or numerals and/or other characters. The letters in BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_ID may be in upper case, lower case, or mixed case. The BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_ID for a University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) business unit begins with HS; for a University or auxiliary business unit, it begins with UP. (Auxiliary members of the Penn Community are members 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.) One of the qualifiers in a BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_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.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. Most business units correspond to bureaucratic groups that reflect various administrative subdivisions used for University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, University employees, University students, and auxiliary members of the Penn Community (members 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). Some business units denote privileged groups, used to classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system. Business units are arranged in a hierarchy. (See BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_NUMBER and BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_TYPE_DESC.) The members of business unit group X are business unit X itself and all of the business units that fall below it in the hierarchy. The LMS_BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP table has one record per combination of business unit group and business unit member.

Most BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_ID values are determined in the manner described below. Generally speaking, the further down the business unit is in the hierarchy, the more qualifiers its BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_ID has.

A business unit (also known as a BU, role, Knowledge Node, or K Node) is a set of one or more Knowledge Link users. Most business units correspond to bureaucratic groups that reflect various administrative subdivisions used for University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) employees, University employees, University students, and auxiliary members of the Penn Community (members 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). Some business units denote privileged groups, used to classify certain Knowledge Link users according to what they are authorized to do within the Knowledge Link system.

Business units are arranged in a hierarchy. The members of business unit group X are business unit X itself and all of the business units that fall below it in the hierarchy. The LMS_BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP table has one record per combination of business unit group and business unit member. (See also BUSINESS_UNIT_GROUP_NUMBER.)

The business unit hierarchy is based on the hierarchies of the administrative groupings in the source systems, as described briefly below. (See also BUSINESS_UNIT_MEMBER_TYPE_DESC.)

University business units

• Business units for University orgs. follow the University's org. hierarchy. A business unit for a University employee with a FAC or STAF affiliation in the Penn Community has as its parent the business unit for the employee's home org. (The home org. is the organization that owns the employee's record and is responsible for its maintenance in the payroll system.)
  • For information on orgs., see the General Ledger data collection's documentation on the ORG_CODES table; the documentation on its PARENT_ORG_CODE data element describes the org. hierarchy. For information on University employees, see the Salary Management data collection's documentation on EMPLOYEE_GENERAL.
• The business unit for a University major has as its parent the business unit for the University academic division that offers the major.
  • For information on academic divisions and majors, see the Student data collection's documentation on the DIVISION and MAJOR tables (updated nightly).
• The business unit hierarchy for University students parallels the hierarchy for the academic divisions and majors. A business unit for a University student has as its parent the UP.STU- business unit for the student's primary major in his or her primary academic division, per the SRS_DIVISION and SRS_MAJOR in the record for the student in the Penn Community AFFILIATION table.

UPHS business units

• Most Health System business units use the same hierarchy as for the UPHS entities (also known as process levels) and departments (also known as a cost centers or accounting units).
• The UPHS branch of the business unit hierarchy has a separate sub-branch for Knowledge Microcommunities. (See also TYPE.)
• 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.

Auxiliary business units

• A business unit has been created for each auxiliary Penn Community affiliation. The business unit for a Knowledge Link user with an auxiliary affiliation has as its parent the UP.AUX- business unit for the user's auxiliary Penn Community affiliation (per the Penn Community AFFILIATION table).
  • For the list of auxiliary affiliations, see the documentation on LMS_PERSON.PENN_COMMUNITY_MEMBER_STATUS.
