Occupation
Introduction
An occupation attribute can contain all the standard fields for an attribute.
Normally it will contain the title or description of a persons employment.
Occupations can be managed via the Work With Data Tool.
As with Places it is a good ideal the standardise occupations, where possible.
So for example:
- Ag Lab
- Agri Labourer
- etc.
Should be recorded as Agricultural Labourer.
To improve readability on narrative reports for some occupations it may be necessary to define a custom sentence template.
