Individual Tab

Important

Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

The Individual tab on the Person Information Details page includes details about the person's name, including Campus Name and any additional names or alternate identifiers. From this page, you can:

  • View current and historical name information

  • Update name information and other details, including visibility in the Campus Portal, FERPA restrictions, and current address code

    Note

    A historical name record is created whenever name information is updated.

  • View, create, and update additional names and alternate identifiers

  • View and update user-defined fields

You can capture additional information about individuals with user-defined fields. User-defined fields are managed by your System Administrator and can be useful for internal reporting. Click the User-Defined Fields button to review or add more details to an individual's record.

Jenzabar One users can have multiple names associated with their ID number (e.g., married name, legal name, etc.). These additional names can be displayed on reports, in the Campus Portal, and throughout Jenzabar One.

Schools that use external systems in addition to Jenzabar One (e.g., PowerFAIDS) can use Alternate Identifiers to note how the user is identified in the other system.

Most of the information available on the this tab is also available in Desktop's Name Entity window, on the Individual tab.

Name information is maintained in the NameMaster table. When name information is updated, historical name records are saved in the NAME_HISTORY table.

Most name information is added to the system via the internet submission process. The following fields can be edited to maintain accurate records.

To view and work with name information, you must be in a Person Management role (or a copy of it) with the appropriate permissions. For additional information about permissions, see Person Management Permissions.

To view and edit user-defined fields, you must have "Can edit UDEF data" permission for the appropriate fields on the User-Defined Fields tab.
