Ethnicities

Associations increasingly collect data about the ethnicity of persons registered in the COMET system to promote inclusion and reduce disparities in football participation.

Ethnicity types/options can be defined in the Admin App, and a dropdown field will be enabled on the Person Profile for the person's ethnicity during the registration process.

Administration of Ethnicities

The Admin application includes a feature for managing ethnicity within the Registration section.

To manage ethnicities, navigate to Administration App → Registration → Ethnicities.

The first tab is used to add, edit, and delete ethnicities. Data input is stored in the Ethnicities table, where the Namekey column serves as the label for ethnicity, the Code represents the ethnicity code, and the Display name is a translated version of the label.

In the Configurations tab, the tenant's Ethnicity configuration is entered.

The Order number determines the order of ethnicities in the tenant's Person UI dropdown. The Default setting ensures that this ethnicity is automatically set when creating a new person, provided the ethnicity is active. Only active ethnicities are displayed for the tenant in the Person UI.

COMET UI

The ethnicity field will be visible in the Person UI when the tenant has defined ethnicities.

If the tenant hasn't defined ethnicities, the field will not be displayed, even if the person has an ethnicity set. If the tenant has defined ethnicities, but the person has an ethnicity from another tenant, that ethnicity will be included in the dropdown options.

COMET Data

The ethnicity field is incorporated into the Person Registrations report and can be used for additional pivoting and statistical analysis.
