Step 1: Analysis

Use the Run Option: Run in report Mode (1) and Update option: Leave Gender of unresolved names as is (3).

When the analysis in run, CU*BASE provides a report with the recommended changes for review. The report indicates whether the name is identified as male, female, unresolved (could be used with either gender), or unidentified.

  • NOTE: A membership is marked as unidentified when the name does not appear on the list of 11,000 names used by the gender generator to match names with genders. It may be a double name such as “Mary Ellen”, which can be added to the generator’s list.

The Gender Generator may even help you with some cleanup of your memberships by identifying those that are incorrectly identified with an MI designation code, such as a membership that should instead be identified with a MO (Organizational) designation.

Step 2: Update

Once you have performed any cleanup of the memberships and are ready, use Gender Generator’s Run Option 2=Run in update mode with report to flood your memberships with the recommended gender.

You can select to only update the memberships identified as Male and Female and leave the rest as is so that you can work them yourself (3=Leave Gender..unresolved). Or you can select to set these members whose gender is unknown to “1=Set unresolved names to Male” or “1=Set unresolved names to Female.”

A report listing the memberships that were updated prints with the “Report and Update” selection. Along with each membership record, the report provides line-by-line documentation of what each member’s gender was changed to. (If the membership was previously identified as “Unresolved” or “Unidentified” the report includes this information as well.)

Final tallies of how many names were processed, along with the number of memberships changed to male, changed to female, identified as either male or female (unresolved), and not identified.
