Employee Profile Fields: What You Can Edit, What Is Fixed, and the Supported Workarounds
Which family-detail fields are editable, how to record information the profile has no field for (spouse gender, confirmation date) with custom fields, and how to export family details.
Family Details — what's editable
For an employee's spouse and children, the editable fields are: Name, Mobile Phone, Email, Date of Birth, Nationality, and Documentation Information. A spouse's I/C number, for example, goes under Family Details > edit (pencil) icon > Documentation Information.
Gender for a spouse or child is NOT an available field. Workaround — create a custom field:
- Go to Settings > Personal Data > Personal Details.
- Click + Add, enter the field name (e.g. "Spouse Gender").
- Select Field Type: Select, and add the options.
- Choose the applicable office(s) and Save.
Confirmation date
There is no default Confirmation Date field. Two supported ways to record it:
- Custom field (recommended): Settings > Personal Data > Personal Details > + Add — create "Confirmation Date" with the Date type (see How to Add Custom Fields to Personal Details in BrioHR for Employee Profiles).
- Alternatively, add it in the Notes/Description of the relevant Job History record — without editing the existing job details.
Exporting family details
The Report Builder has no fields or filters for spouse/dependent information. To export it: HR Lounge > Employee Management > Bulk Import/Export > select Family Details > download the Excel file — it contains the recorded family information for employees.
