How to Add/Edit Ethnicity under List of Value in settings

A list of values or LOV is a common value that is used in different data entry screens and is shown in a dropdown list for selection. Different schools in different countries might need to adjust these values based on their requirements so the system allows an administrator to add/edit these values.

Navigate to:

Menu Bar >> Settings >> List of Values


The list of Ethnicity is created as a system default that can be edited or deleted as per your requirements.

​Click on the pencil mark to edit and the   trash can to delete.



To create a new Ethnicity, click '+ Add Ethnicity'.  

Fill in the Title and click Submit



Note: The system shows the name of the person who created a record and also the name and date when a record was updated.

If a value is assigned to a record, that value cannot be deleted. Only the name can be edited.
