Free/Busy
Free/busy is a determination of whether there is a calendar event in a given time slot. Free designates time slots without events and busy designates time slots that are taken up in a person's calendar. Any account within Microsoft 365 will have the ability to view free/busy information against any other Office 365 account. Note: an event can be set to show as busy or free.
FTE (Full Time Equivalent) and Headcount
There are two basic ways that we count the number of employees. When we use headcount, each individual person counts as one employee whether their appointment is full time or part time. When we use "FTE," we are using the "Full Time Equivalent."
The Full Time Equivalent is the total of all positions using the percentage of the appointment rather than the number of individual employees. This is what the headcount looks like for the same employees using each measure:
Employee A - .5 appointment
Employee B - 1.0 appointment
Employee C - .6 appointment
Employee D - .4 appointment
Using Headcount, there are 4 employees
Using FTE, there are 2.5 employees (.5 + 1 + .6 + .4 = 2.5)
Full Mailbox Permissions
Full mailbox permissions can be assigned between any two accounts within UW-Madison's Microsoft 365 environment.
| What can I do with full mailbox permissions? | What can't I do with full mailbox permissions? |
|---|---|
|
|
* To send emails, you will either need 'send as' or 'send on-behalf' of permissions.
See how to manage full mailbox permissions for an account for further details.
Group
Groups in Office 365 let you choose a set of people that you wish to collaborate with and easily set up a collection of resources for those people to share - such as emails, files, and calendar data. You don’t have to worry about manually assigning permissions to all those resources because adding members to the group automatically gives them the permissions they need to the tools your group provides.

L&S Department ID/UDDS
A Department ID is the sequence of numbers that identifies a specific campus department, program, or entity. Historically, the Department ID was known as a "UDDS," which stands for "Unit, Division, Department, Subdepartment." This term is still in use in some resources, so we are including it in this glossary listing.
In more practical terms, a Department ID/UDDS is the unique combination of letters and numbers that identify the division, department, and possibly subdepartment, associated with a particular personnel, research, financial, or other activity or transaction.
EXAMPLE: The full Department ID for a particular Letters & Science Department would be written as : 48XXXX.
"48" stands for "College of Letters & Science"
"XXXX" are the four numbers that identify the specific department, program, project, or other administrative entity.
A list of Letters & Science Department ID/UDDS numbers can be found at:
