EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
We worked with the USC Office of Orientation Programs to complete a database for their
matrix Scheduling and Orientation Advisor Staffing functions. Their current system in
scheduling and staffing is a manual process run on Excel. Each year, a new Excel document
is created and copied from previous years. This creates inefficiencies and the possibility for
errors in a recreated schedule.
Project Purpose
The purpose of the project was to offer the Orientation Office a fully functioning database
that helped two of their most crucial functions: Scheduling and Staffing. In addition to the
usual ability to schedule a year’s orientation programs, we wanted our database to be able
to allow a new employee, intern, or student-worker to be able to create a full lineup of new
orientations without having to schedule anything. In short, we wanted to create a
“skeleton” of each orientation type could be accessed each year when it was time for
creation.
Design Selected
The design we selected was a combination CDM of the two primary user views and
functions that the Orientation Office needed to update. At a high level view, we have
Orientations of various types. In each Orientation, various programs are assigned that
students and parents will attend. Some of these programs have several events attached to
them that Orientation Advisors are assigned to. This is primarily where are two functions
meet: at the OA Event and Orientation Program level.
Implementation
From the original model, we expanded much of it in order to increase integrity through the
addition of entities and generation of constraints from restricting cardinalities. In large
part, our integrity is more important than physical optimization in speed. Our database is
still fast, but since our database isn’t transaction oriented, it is less important that it be
lightning fast. Additionally, our users are going to USC faculty, interns, or student-workers,
so we wont have to worry as much about speed being on the forefront of our users’
experience.
Results
Our result was a successful implementation of our data model and physical design updates.
We have optimized the database to run efficiently, while still focusing on high integrity.
Significance
The workers and staff of the USC Orientation Office will feel the impact of our work the
most. It will make their jobs easier and usability of the orientation process better. Our goal
is to wean people off of using Excel in the workplace and using high quality data-driven
solutions to increase productivity and efficiency of work. We’re excited about our model
and proud of its functionality and significance.

4. 4
Function-to-Entity Matrix
We have two primary functions that the Orientation Office wanted the database to perform.
As a preliminary step, this function vs. entity matrix originally suggested that our two
functions would be synced through an orientation assignment. We used this Function vs.
Entity matrix to expand the database and hash out key requirements. One example of that
is how we eventually realized that the Events that Orientation Advisors were assigned to
could not be simply synced through orientation, but instead an orientation assignment
entity, which we later concluded would be called Orientation_Program.
Note: The “Staffing” function was not created to assign Staff /Faculty. The Staff / Faculty
will be assigned based on their roles in Components and Single Orientation Programs,
thereby being assigned in the Scheduling section of the database. The “Staffing” function is
created to assign Orientation Advisors only to the various events that they were required
to be in attendance for.

5. 5
Preliminary Enterprise Data Model
Our Preliminary Enterprise Data Model is a rough outline of what we expected the model to
look like in concept. This model ended up being extremely flawed, and we changed our
eventual CDM to reflect our deeper understanding of the data model that was at hand. This
EDM reflected our original understanding of the construction of the data model and the
most obvious representation of that is the belief that we would have Events within each
Program. This was a misinterpretation of the model, and you will see that our CDM takes
into account the further information we gathered.

34. Student Schedule User View
/* User View Notes */
/* These 5 user views were some of the more helpful ones; however, the orientation office
didn’t provide these to us until much later in the process, which required serious
modifications. These user views basically lay out exactly what our CDM wants to be able to
capture: everything from staffing Orientation Advisors to scheduling programs and events.

/* User View Notes */
/* We created this user view to allow new buildings to be entered into the system (since we
are always getting new buildings!). The orientation office didn’t provide us with an existing
building entry form. Although there may be many other attributes for typical buildings, the
orientation scheduling office really only needs the building code and name in order to
schedule orientation programs. Necessary elements such as capacity will come into the
CDM in a per room or per space basis, not in the building entry. */

/* We created this user view to allow new departments to be entered into the system.
Although it will be rare occurrences that new departments will need to be entered, it is
necessary still to have a form to do so. The orientation office didn’t provide us with an
existing department entry form. We decided attributes such as “Dean of College” and
“Faculty ID#” were not essential attributes to include in the CDM, so we eventually cut
those. A subset of the attributes listed above is the set of necessary department attributes
that the orientation office needs for scheduling. */
