Administration - Configuration options for 'Preferred Pronouns' on Staff and Student records
Config > Administration > Administration Defaults
A user can now choose whether the Preferred Pronouns option is available on Staff and Student records, and how this choice is then reflected in dynamic fields.
The new Enable 'Preferred Pronouns' in Staff and Student Details pages option on the Administration Defaults page is selected by default. If unselected, the Preferred Pronouns option is not displayed on the Staff Details and Student Details pages, or in popups when a user edits these details.
When creating a communication via SMS or e-mail , the warning message about using pronouns is not displayed, and the pronouns used are based on Gender.
Immediately below, there is a another new option, When sending communications using dynamic fields, with a choice of two radio buttons:
- Use preferred pronouns - this is the default option and enables the functionality described in Dynamic Field - Pronoun.
- Use sex-based pronouns - this disables the functionality described in Dynamic Field - Pronoun, but enables the other pronoun options in Staff and Student pages.
