A dynamic sub-answer (DSA) is a record within a record. An example in Faculty Success is the Department DSA on the Yearly Data screen, which enables a user to associate a user with multiple departments for a given academic year. We can apply access, descriptors, and restrictions to both fields and data in a DSA. Users can select how many DSA rows to create at one time by using the "Add Row" button at the bottom of the DSA.
