Preferred Name and Pronouns in CHSSWeb

Preferred Name and Pronouns in CHSSWeb

Mason allows employees to choose their preferred first name and pronouns through Patriotweb. CHSSWeb now receives those values in each nightly import and displays the chosen first name anywhere a person's first name appears and displays the chosen pronouns on the relevant bio show page. If a person changes their chosen first name or pronouns, those changes will be reflected the next day in CHSSWeb.

To reflect this change, we have altered the Person edit and self-edit forms. First names are no longer editable within CHSSWeb. Instead, the forms display the person's first name, or their chosen first name if one has been imported, and also displays a short bit of text describing how to change those values and providing links to the appropriate form in Patriotweb.
