Learn how to use and customize the Gender Identity and Pronoun fields

Updated over a week ago

Campminder offers inclusive Gender Identity and Pronoun fields in the Camper and/or Staff Application. You can additionally use these options for internal tracking if your camp chooses to do so.

Defining Gender Identities and/or Pronouns

Note: Gender, Gender Identities, and Gender Pronouns are non-seasonal data so once information is selected it will populate by default in all future seasons. Staff and Camper's parents will be able to edit the information each year if needed.

  1. Navigate to Admin > Unified Person Record > Gender Settings

  2. Click on the grey 'Gender Identities' button and select the green 'Define New' button on the bottom right. Enter the Name of the Gender Identify you want to add to the system. Select the 'Active' or 'Inactive' radio button.

  3. Under 'Partition', select if you want each Gender Identity to show on your Camper Application, Staff Application, or both.

  4. Click the green 'Save' button to the right of the definition.

    Note: On a Unified Person Record you will be able to internally track someone's Gender Identity and/or Pronouns under 'person edit'.
