RIO Challenge C01 - Master Data Setup

RIO University has just implemented RIO Education SIS and will need to create records for their Departments, Campuses, and Programs. Accounts for faculty members (lecturers) will be required as well. All these must have the right hierarchy, just as in a real-world application, where a Program would be under the purview of a Department, or a Campus would be under the University, etc.

Learning outcomes

1. Understand the relationship of Master Data objects.
