Click "Save Details" when you have entered the information.
Examples of use
The Religious Group of the people that an organisation works with has become one of the most common pieces of information that funders ask for. Most of our customers now need to collect this information even if their work does not relate to the religious groups of their clients. For this reason it is often included in the standard Input Field Rules for a system, to encourage users to capture it at first contact if possible.
Reporting Outputs
Information entered using the Religious Groups drop-down list is available:
- In Data Extractions, both as selection criteria and as data to be output on a spreadsheet
- In the KPI Report Designer as a filter (for example, the Number of Clients Accessing Service By Religion report)
