Set Up Nationalities

A person's nationality affects what documentation they need when they travel, since requirements like visas differ from one nationality to the next. By recording nationalities in Helm CONNECT, you keep this detail on each person's profile and can report on it. This is especially useful if your operation runs international trips and has to provide nationality documentation for everyone aboard.

You set up the nationalities your organization uses on the Setup > Users > Nationalities tab, then assign a nationality to each person from their profile.
