Both Race and Ethnicity information appear on Contact cards under Citizenship/Resident information.
We recommend schools use Races instead of (or in addition to) Ethnicity .
Schools can select multiple Races for individuals, which enables schools to more accurately track demographic information.
To quickly copy information from Ethnicity into Races in bulk, export Ethnicity information and then import it as Races.
After you update records in bulk, edit the appropriate user profiles to select additional Races.
Use the Student list or User list with columns for
-
user ID,
-
first name,
-
last name,
-
and ethnicity.
Imported values must exactly match existing race types. Set up race types before you run a Data import,
Use the General data import to add a single race value to individual profiles. Use it to remove all race values from an individual via the upward chevon or caret ^ symbol.
Use the Races data import from the User management category to import multiple races for individuals.
