SimonR Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi We import our FROG data from SIMS. One of our users wishes to use their preferred surname rather than there legal one. Is there a way to change the name in FROG or change which name is imported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 johnmorris01 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I don't think you can have it on for one user, I think it is a case of toggling the 'Display Name for first and/or second name from within System Preferences/MIS Importer/Display Name.for all users.

0 Sam Brown Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 John is correct, if setting it in System Preferences it will change all users to use preferred name rather than legal name. Plus if the users are already in the platform you'll have to edit the usernames manually, this is because the username creator runs once only when the account is being created.

0 SimonR Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thank you for the responses. If I may ask a follow up. When I go to manually edit the users information several of the boxes are grey rather than white and I seem unable to change them. Is there something I need to do?

0 ADT Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 See in the the old Frog3 extractor you can update names with preferred name by just ticking the box in the extractor... then they would update next time it runs!! Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying... Same in Frog Learn I think, I think @Sam Brown was talking about the usernames. So the display name would update, but the usernames wouldn't. If they don't use the users surname in their username then this wouldn't be a problem - if they do, then a CSV import would be needed to fix them the first time.
