Person Name
What is a Person Name Field?
Person Name fields are basic field types designed to store components of a name. By default, a person name field will display as "First Name, Last Name", but this name formatting can be changed within the field's settings if desired.
Field Options
Creating or editing a Link Field will have the following options to configure:
Name
This setting allows you to title your Person Name field. For instance, "Customer Name" or "Employee Name".
Description
This setting allows you to add an optional description of this field for your own reference.
Field Format for Forms
This setting allows you to configure the individual inputs used to capture data.
By default, person names will appear as "First Name, Last Name", and you do not have to make any changes to this formatting section if you would like to keep this "First Name, Last Name" display.
Optional data inputs for use within a Person Name field include:
- Title
- First Name
- Middle Name
- Last Name.
Field Labels
This setting allows you to configure individual labels of the Person Name inputs. For example, you can change the label for the "Middle Name" input to display as "Middle Initial" to prompt for the person's middle initial rather than full middle name.
Person Name Field Restrictions
Person Name Fields are object fields. Object fields or individual items within an object may not be available for use in across all Tadabase features, such as Rules, Filters, and Automations.
