About Me

Mohammed Jamal Updated by Mohammed Jamal

The About Me feature allows you to create an About Me record for a Care Receiver, capturing their personal preferences and story. The information structure being captured is based on the PRSB About Me standard, which you can find out more about here.

About Me Records

About Me records are created and accessed from the Person record.

  1. Navigate to Workplace > My Work > People We Support.
  2. Locate and open a Person record.
  3. Select the About Me tab.

The 'About Me' page is displayed:

 When first creating the record, a number of general data items must be completed: 

Field 

Description 

Date

A recorded date for the record.

Supported to Write This By

A lookup to People, Professionals and System Users to indicate who supported the Care Receiver to create the record.

Capacity Established

Indicates whether or not the Care Receiver has the capacity to provide this information for themselves.

Consent Granted for Recordings

If set to Yes, a video recording of the person’s story can be attached to the record (in the file format of .webm, .m4V or .mp4).

Each section below the General section contains a number of panels to capture information aligned with the PRSB About Me data standard:

  • Information – read-only local guidelines that can be customised by System Admins.
  • My Story – free text entry.
  • My Recorded Story – Media upload to capture Care Receiver’s preferences in their own voice. Files can be dragged and dropped onto the panel, or clicking the cloud icon will open the file explorer.

If a media file has been successfully uploaded to the My Recorded Story panel, additional media controls will become available including play, pause, and full screen. The bin icon removes the uploaded media file from the panel.  

About Me records can be completed over time, but there may also be circumstances where a snapshot of information at a certain time needs to be captured ahead of updates to the record. A number of save options are available to support this: 

Save Option

Description

The Save button will update and overwrite the current record with any changes.

 

The Save & Archive button will record a separate snapshot of the current record for future reference, allowing overwriting changes to be made without losing current information. 

Saved About Me Records

Snapshots of previous versions created via the Save & Archive feature can be accessed from the Person record in the following way:

  1. Select Menu > Related Items > About Me.

The 'Person About Me's' page is displayed:
