Breaking the Connection Between Title and Gender

We are discontinuing the practice of automatically assigning titles based on gender, and vice versa. Previously, when you selected a gender, it would automatically choose the pre-set 'male' or 'female'. This automatic selection will now be removed.

Gender Identity and Pronouns will both be prefilled drop-down fields but can also be added to via the Common Catalogue tile in your Meddbase chamber.

Additional fields in Common Catalogues 


To adjust the fields in the Common Catalogues, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Admin tile.
  2. Click the Common Catalogues tile.
  3. Open the Genders catalogue and click +New gender, define the gender and click Save to add it to your chamber.
  4. Open the Pronouns catalogue and click +New pronoun, define the pronoun and click Save to add it to your chamber.
