Manifest - Data-Driven Reference Group Descriptions
This document is in no way complete, but contains a running list of potentially useful "reference" groups in Manifest and what they mean in simultaneously relatively imprecise layman's terms and too much detail for the average person. The words used herein may not align exactly with specific source definitions, and may be too precisely tied to internal implementation details. Hopefully they're useful to someone.
This list is incomplete. Unfortunately we don't have the human-power to make a complete list off-the-bat, and compiling a big list first and trying to complete it is a recipe for never starting. So we're just starting. Please email us or comment on this document and ask questions or suggest things we are missing!
Quick jump to: Employee-ish - Student-ish - Affilate-ish
This document documents specific interesting "Reference" groups, there are also a lot of data-generated groups based on data documented in Manifest - Data Driven Groups.
Employee-ish Groups
General notes:
Job
is a specific thing in HRS. It is sometimes referred to as a position or an appointment, although there are technical differences in how those things work inside the HR system.Jobs
do not include Affiliates because affiliates are not UW employees.Emerita
orEmeritus
are honorary titles that are given to people who have provided significant service to the University. They are entered in HRS as a POI record, which is not a job.Affiliates
is a broad term used to refer to any of a wide variety of often "employee-ish" people who are on campus who do not actually work for UW (for example, WARF, Morgridge Institute, UW Foundation, UW Health, UW Medical Foundation, USDA, Emerita, Consultants, and many more). Affiliates may come from a variety of source systems including POI records in HRS, Special Populations (defined by Manifest Groups), Legacy Special Authorizations, and others.
Specific Groups

- "Affiliates" like (for example) WARF, Morgridge, UW Health, or Wisconsin Historical Society, as they are not UW-Madison employees.
- Emeritus, Consultant, Extension Affiliate, and other "Person of Interest" records from HRS, as they are not actually jobs in HRS..
