Creating and Defining Ranks

You can define ranks in Lifecycle Management to represent the standard faculty ranks possible at your institution, including workload, rank type, and maximum/minimum salaries permitted for that rank.

FAQ: Ranks and Rank Types

If a Rank Type is changed under a Series, does this update the faculty member's profile?
