Pronouns for Entities

Pronouns Field in Action Builder

Pronouns are a crucial aspect of personal identity and inclusivity, and organizers using Action Builder can easily specify pronouns for each entity. This article will explore the importance of the Pronouns field and provide a step-by-step guide on how to utilize it effectively.

Pronouns play a vital role in how individuals are addressed and referred to in communication. They reflect personal identity and gender expression, making them essential for interactions. By incorporating pronouns as a core field in Action Builder, we empower organizers to acknowledge and honor the diversity of how people identify. This inclusivity fosters a welcoming environment and strengthens connections with people.

Key Features and Benefits:

Pronouns are front and center, visible for organizers using Action Builder. They are prominently displayed alongside entity names in various sections of the platform, ensuring that pronouns are readily accessible and integrated into everyday interactions.

The Pronouns field accepts a wide range of inputs, allowing organizers to specify pronouns that accurately reflect people. While common pronoun suggestions are provided, organizers also have the option to input custom pronouns, ensuring inclusivity for all identities.

Pronouns are stored as strings within Action Builder, simplifying data management processes. Admins and Leads (with access) can export entity data, with separate columns for names and pronouns in CSV files.

Admins must enable the Pronouns field on any entities created prior to the 2/14/2024 update. All entities created after the update will have pronouns enabled by default. Under the Admin menu, go to Entity Types, then select the entity where pronouns should be enabled. Once enabled, the pronouns field will be visible on all campaigns that use that particular entity.
