v70 - Configurable gender

Configurable gender is a major system-wide enhancement that allows schools to configure multiple genders to represent the multitude of gender identities in their school communities.

First, schools need to configure Synergetic for gender by using:

• luGender lookup table to define new configurable genders. See luGender lookup table (Gender).
• luRelationship lookup table to define relationships for other-gendered community members. See luRelationship lookup table (Gender).
• luNextYearLevel lookup table to define Next Year Levels for Other Genders. See luYearLevel lookup table 
• Interface Settings to map all configured local Genders to the gender values defined by external organisations.  See
  • SynWeb - Using the Interface Settings window
  • Syn Main - Using the Interface Settings window

Once this information is configured, schools can:

• Select configurable gender values using the Gender drop-down list. See Configurable gender values.
• Select configurable gender relationships. See Configurable gender relationships.
• Set up Next Year Level for Other Genders. See luYearLevelGroup lookup table
• Process Next Year Level for Other Genders. See luYearLevel lookup table (Next Year Process)
• Interface with external systems using configurable gender values. See Interfacing with external systems using configurable gender values.
• Import and export student data with configurable gender values. See Importing and exporting configurable gender values.
• View configurable gender data on Power BI Dashboards. See Viewing configurable gender data on Power BI dashboards.
• Rank applications using configurable gender. See Ranking applications using configurable gender.
