We’ve Updated our Expanded Gender Options!
At a Glance:
-
The new updates to our expanded gender options provide more flexibility to our schools regarding the information they’d like to ask on forms from their families and how they’d like to see this information displayed internally within the system.
-
New Navigation! Settings > Fields & Data > Gender Field Configuration
Gender Options
-
Schools will be able to select which field options to display: Female, Male, Non-Binary, Prefer Not to Answer, Self-Identify.
Pronoun Options
-
Show Pronoun Selection: Allows schools to select whether or not they will display the Pronoun field on forms.

The ‘Display Pronouns’ checkbox within the configuration page allows schools to select whether or not they would like to display a student’s pronouns next to their name in the contact record.

Expanded Gender Options (Updated!)
Billing: The Child.id Column has been added to the Billing Import Template!
At a Glance:
- Previously, the child id field was absent in the billing import template, which led to challenges when attempting to reconcile charges with the respective students in a different system during the import process.
A few notes:
-
Only the child (student id’s) have been added, not the parent.
-
The id will auto-populate when the import template is exported from a search.
-
All other billing report exports already contain child.id column
