Interpret Employee Name Formats

In Western society, a person is most often referenced as Last Name, First Name.  In most cases, this works fine and does not cause any issues or problems.  However, what do companies do with the following scenarios:

• More than one person with the same first and last name

• Countries who do not make use of the first (or last) name field at all

• Companies whose employees are referenced by their Employee IDs

As a solution to some companies’ display name format problem, TRACCESS CI (8.6) introduces a new employee property (Middle Name) and has created a Display Name Format editor to allow for customized display names per installation.  The display name can be made up of the following employee properties:

• First Name

• Middle Name

• Last Name

• Employee ID

• Employee Number
