First Name and Gender Defaults

The program includes thousands of first names with default gender assignments in place. To view and manage the first name gender defaults, such as to add a name or change a gender assignment, from Constituents, select First names under Configuration.

Add a first name and default gender

1. From Constituents, select First names under Configuration. The First Names page appears.

2. Under First names, select Add. The Add a first name screen appears.

3. Enter the first name for which you want to assign a gender default.

4. In the Gender field, select the gender to assign by default when a user enters the name.

5. Select Save. You return to the First Names page.

Tip: If your organization has upgraded to service pack 36 or higher, see Gender defaults (SP 36). In addition to enabling you to use a code table of user-defined gender values, service pack 36 also enables you to choose to permanently stop automatically populating the Gender field based on First names if desired.
