Race – Other

Creating a new “race” prompt with the Value of “Other” will generate a selectable race option box of “Other,” and when clicked, will display a free-text box to the right, which students can fill out if they wish to provide a race different than those already listed on a Slate application.

Similar to other prompts of this nature, unless a corresponding field with the ID of “raceOther” is also created, the data will not store anywhere.

Race – Other Options

Creating a new “race” prompt with the Value of “Label - Other” (for example, “Hispanic – Other,” “Asian – Other,” or “Black or African American – Other,”) will enable “Other” under the corresponding prompt Value on a Slate application.
NOTE: when creating these prompt values, follow these naming directions:

• Name of the category (White, Asian, etc.)

• Space

• Hyphen (-)

• Space

• Other (capital O)

Race – American Indian or Alaska Native - Tribe

For the “race” prompt of “American Indian or Alaska Native,” partner institutions might want to include more prescribed options aside from “Other” on a Slate application. Additional “race” prompts with the Value of “American Indian or Alaska Native - Cherokee,” or “American Indian or Alaska Native - Tomahawk” could be added.

This behavior can be replicated for the other “race” category prompts (such as “Asian - Chinese” or “Asian - Japanese”).

Two items to also keep in mind: 

• The next two Field items in this table contain related functionality to the “American Indian or Alaska Native” prompts in particular.

• To show the checkboxes of the items mentioned in this example (“Cherokee,” “Tomahawk,” “Chinese,” “Japanese,” and so on) and hide the “Other” free-text field, inactivate the corresponding “raceXxxxxxOther” field (if it has been created).

To create these additional checkbox categories, the Key of the prompt would be set to “hispanicOrigin,” but the Value of the prompts would be set to “Colombian,” “Mexican,” “Cuban,” and so on.

NOTE: This field should be set to Person scope.
