HR Heritage

 

DATA VIEW NAME
HR_Heritage
OVERVIEW
The HR_Heritage data view contains all heritage codes on record for individual employees. The data is only available in this view for individuals with currently active appointments who have specified one or more heritage codes. This view does not show a history of the changes to heritage codes over time. This view contains sensitive information that should only be made available to authorized University faculty and staff.
The data view in this view is filtered by the UDDS code found in the Appt_Major_Dept to limit the records returned based on your authorization.
LOAD FREQUENCY
The data will be refreshed nightly, Monday thru Friday evening.

AUTHORIZATION
This data view uses UDDS code to limit the records returned based on your authorization.
You must receive approval to access data from the data custodian. For information about how to get authorized for InfoAccess data views, connect to InfoAccess Home Page
SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS
This view only contains records for an employee if the person had designated one or more race or ethnic heritage categories. Individuals with no race/ethnicity data reported are not included in the view.

When joining this data to other appointment data views please consider the following:

  1. You may want to change the join properties so that you get back all the employees not just those with a Heritage Code on file (i.e. left join)
  2. You may need to suppress duplicates because the person may have more than one appointment in the range of UDDS codes you are authorized to see.
