Configuring name information

Name formats shown in PolicyCenter can vary by region. For example, for Person contact types, as opposed to Company types, a contact detail view can show the following name fields:

  • United States – Prefix, First Name, Last Name, Suffix
  • France – Prefix, First Name, Particle, Last Name, Suffix
  • Japan – Last Name (phonetic), First Name (phonetic), Last Name, First Name

    Note: For Japanese names, the labels shown on the screen map to the following columns:

    • Last Name (phonetic) maps to LastName.
    • First Name (phonetic) maps to FirstName.
    • Last Name maps to LastNameKanji.
    • First Name maps to FirstNameKanji.

You can customize this feature, as described in this topic.

Note: ContactManager supports configuration of names for globalization with features that are similar to those of PolicyCenter. Information for ContactManager name configuration is included in this topic where it differs from PolicyCenter name configuration.
