Individual Display Name

Individual display name enables you to configure how individual constituent names format throughout the system. When you configure the name format for individual constituents, you set the display name for all your system users. The default individual display name is first name, middle initial, last name. You can select to change the individual display name to any of the existing name formats for individuals.

Tip: To review, change, or add individual name formats, see Name Format Options in the Communications Configurations chapter of the Communications Guide.
