==Examples of use==
 
−
 
 
−
The Sexual Orientation of the people that an organisation works with has become a common piece of information that funders ask for, even if the work that the organisation carries out does not relate to the Sexual Orientation of their clients.
 
−
 
 
−
Understandably it is often sensitive information and users of the system find it difficult to ask their clients for it. For this reason it is sometimes included in the standard [[Input Field Rules]] for a system, to encourage users to capture it at first contact if possible. Many of our customers write a script for everyone in their organisation to use when asking the question, so that they don't feel pressured to word the question in a particular way. In general, clients are usually happy to disclose the information. It's important to have a "did not wish to disclose" option too.
