Modifying Transcripts to Print Legal Name
The default transcript template includes the student's name as entered on the Registration page.
If your district uses the Personal page's Legal/Birth Information panel to track legal information when a student is in the process of legally changing their name and/or gender, then you can modify the transcript to print a student's legal name or legal gender.
To print the legal information, edit the transcript templates and add the following fields as needed:
Template Field | Description |
|---|---|
legal_name | If values are entered in the Legal/Birth Information name fields on the Personal page, then this name is reported. Otherwise, the name entered on the Registration page is reported. |
legal_gender | If a value is entered in the Legal/Birth Information Gender field on the Personal page, then this gender is reported. Otherwise, the gender entered on the Registration page is reported. |
For more information on tracking legal/birth information, refer to the following topics:
- Changing Student Name and/or Gender
- Legal/Birth Information Panel on the Personal Page
