Full Name Details

 

The Name Details window consists of fields that store information about the contact’s name. The Name Details window is only accessible for individual contacts. When entering the name for a new contact, these fields are determined automatically; however, they can be changed at any time.

	First Name	Maximum of 255 characters.
	Middle Name	Maximum of 255 characters.
	Last Name	Maximum of 255 characters.
	Initials	Maximum of 3 characters.

When the Update Full Name based on First, Middle, and Last Name fields check box is selected, clicking OK will make the following changes:

• The Full Name field contents will be changed to the First Name, followed by a space, then (if specified) the Middle Name followed by a space, followed by the Last Name. The combined Full Name is limited to a total of 255 characters.
• If the Initials field previously matched the first character of the First Name field, the first character of the Middle Name field (if specified), and the first character of the Last Name field, the Initials will be updated to match the first character of each of the fields.

Note: Updating the Full Name does not change the Contact ID. If you want to change the Contact ID or how it is spelled, you must use the Rename Contact program instead.

Billing Note: Changing the Full Name or Initials for a user contact that is linked to a timekeeper will display a message indicating that this can affect statements and other timekeeper references in the software. Click OK to continue, or Cancel to return to the contact editor.
