How to display the First/Middle/Last name field in Profile View
Applicable Product:
- OrgPublisher
Applicable Release:
- V21 or later
Summary:
In the Profile View, the Name field (a concatenation of the First, Middle, and Last name fields) is displayed by default and cannot be modified:
If, however, you wish to display the First, Middle, or Last name as a custom field, e.g. under "Box Title" and above "Hire Date" in the example above, you can use the Formula feature to accomplish this. Here's how:
- In the Fields tab, click on the "Add" button
- Give the new field a name and a label. Example:
NOTES:
a) Note that I made sure I didn't use "First name:" (with a colon at the end) for the name or label as that is a reserved OrgPublisher name
b) Make sure you assign it to all position types
- Then click the Formula tab and then type in "return = " and then click the "Fields" drop list and choose "First name:" and click the green "+" button:
- You should now see this:
- Click the "Save" button
Now you can go back to the "Profile" section under View and add the field called "First name" and you can adjust its position using the up/down arrows:
The resulting Profile View now looks like this:
