Ethnicities

The Ethnicities setting allows you to construct a look-up table for the Ethnicity field on the 'Personal' card of the Employee record.

After specifying each Employee's Ethnicity, you will be able to use the Head Count report to produce a break-down by Ethnicity of your Employees.

To open the Ethnicities setting, first ensure you are in the Human Resources Management module. Then, if you are using Windows or Mac OS X, click the [Settings] button in the Navigation Centre or use the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcut and then double-click 'Ethnicities' in the 'Settings' list. If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Settings' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon) and tap 'Ethnicities' in the 'Settings' list. The window illustrated below will open.

Enter each new Ethnicity on the first blank line and, when finished, click the [Save] button (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap √ (iOS/Android) to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap < (iOS/Android).

It is recommended that you enter Ethnicities in alphabetical order, as shown in the illustration. You can insert a new Ethnicity in the correct place in the list by clicking on a row number and pressing the Return key (Windows/Mac OS X) or long tapping on a row number and selecting 'Insert Row' (iOS/Android). When you enter a new Employee and use 'Paste Special' to choose an Ethnicity, they will be listed in the same order as they are listed in this setting. If they are in alphabetical order, you will be able to find the correct one quickly and easily.
