NameOwnerFieldId class

Guidewire provides a gw.api.name.NameOwnerFieldId class that provides type safety for Name entity fields. If you extend the Contact entity or the ABContact entity with a new name column, you must add the new column to this class as a new constant.

Constants that represent name fields

For example, you add the new Contact name column MyNameColumn to the NameOwnerFieldId class with the following code:

public static final var MYNAMECOLUMN : 
    NameOwnerFieldId = new NameOwnerFieldId("MyNameColumn")

Constants that use name field ID constants

Class NameOwnerFieldId also defines a set of constants that use the following name field ID constants:

public final static var ALL_PCF_FIELDS : Set<NameOwnerFieldId> =
  { PREFIX, FIRSTNAME, MIDDLENAME, PARTICLE, LASTNAME, SUFFIX, FIRSTNAMEKANJI, 
    LASTNAMEKANJI, NP_NAME, NAMEKANJI }.freeze()

 /** Fields used for non-Person names */
public final static var ALL_CONTACT_PCF_FIELDS : Set<NameOwnerFieldId> = 
  { NP_NAME, NAMEKANJI }.freeze()

 /** Required fields (union of fields for both Persons and non-Persons) */
public final static var REQUIRED_NAME_FIELDS : Set<NameOwnerFieldId> =
  { LASTNAME, NP_NAME }.freeze()

 /** Fields shown in display names */
public static final var DISPLAY_NAME_FIELDS : Set<NameOwnerFieldId> = {
  FIRSTNAME, PARTICLE, LASTNAME, SUFFIX }.freeze()

 /** Fields for simple name */
public final static var FIRST_LAST_FIELDS : Set<NameOwnerFieldId> =
  { FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME }.freeze()

 public final static var HIDDEN_FOR_SEARCH : Set<NameOwnerFieldId> =
  { PREFIX, MIDDLENAME, PARTICLE, SUFFIX }.freeze()

You can add a new Contact name column to one of these constants by using its constant name, such as MYNAMECOLUMN. For example:

public final static var ALL_PCF_FIELDS : Set<NameOwnerFieldId> =
  {PREFIX, 
   FIRSTNAME, 
   MIDDLENAME,
   MYNAMECOLUMN, 
   PARTICLE, 
   LASTNAME, 
   SUFFIX, 
   FIRSTNAMEKANJI, 
   LASTNAMEKANJI, 
   NP_NAME, 
   NAMEKANJI
  }.freeze()
