.. index:: tbl1_Instructors_ClassesTaught ============================== tbl1_Instructors_ClassesTaught ============================== .. default-role:: doc :Description: This table holds the saved schedule data for semesters. It is used to generate course schedule HTML that appears on math department website's Teaching Schedule page and drives many Solutions processes and reports. :Relation: many-to-one relation of tbl1_Instructors_ClassesTaught.Instructor_Personid to tbl1_People.PersonID many-to-one relation of tbl1_Instructors_ClassesTaught.CourseID to tbl1_Courses.CourseID many-to-one relation of all of the tbl1_Instructors_ClassesTaught._PersonID fields to tbl1_People.PersonID (HOWEVER: these usages might be obsolete) :Source: Schedule data comes from CSS and lands in Solutons via synchronize process, filling `tbl1_Schedule_Data` table SAVE on the course schedule window saves data from `tbl1_Schedule_Data` into this table Please see important footnote related to this table. :Footnote: Over time this table has become mostly functionally redundant with the `tbl1_Schedule_Data` table. Rewrite of Solutions to obsolete this table and rely exclusively on `tbl1_Schedule_Data` should be considered; however this is a large effort since this table is used all over Solutions. Please read table_transition_notes.txt in solutions_access repository for more thoughts on this.

This field is assigned an amount like "1" or ".33" that was intended indicate how much each row should be counted towards an instructor's teaching load. :Footnote: I think this was used for the original version of the teaching load reports, but may have since been obsoleted.

I am less sure that this field is obsolete as I am with the other \*_PersonID fields. That is because I see lots of values in this field which means Solutions is saving this value when saving the data from `tbl1_Schedule_Data` unlike with the other \*_PersonID fields. However, I will have to look closer to see whether this field value is used anywhere :Options: ``display="true", null="true", search="false", type=""`` **Lecturer2_PersonID** ``int(11) DEFAULT NULL`` :Description: possibly obsolete.

This field was used to keep track of data in tbl1_Schedule_Data in relation to this table when saving and creating lecture groups. I'm not sure if it is still used now that we have switched to the newer version of sync. As recommended in the table_transitions document, if we end up obsoleting this table, it is a non-issue. :Options: ``display="true", null="true", search="false", type=""`` **Hybrid** ``bit(1) DEFAULT NULL`` :Description: TRUE when a hybrid section :Options: ``display="true", null="true", search="false", type=""`` **Online** ``bit(1) DEFAULT NULL`` :Description: TRUE when an online course :Options: ``display="true", null="true", search="false", type=""`` **section_url** ``varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL`` :Description: When building course schedule HTML, any URL specified in this field for a section will cause Solutions to make the section number a hyperlink to the given URL instead of just secton text :Footnote: Each semester office staff sends an email with a link where instructors can submit this URL. They can then just copy/paste the link into this field in Solutions interface.
