This article explains how to configure the Mask on Name in Personal Details.
Introduction
In APM under Personal Details we have a field called Name that consists of several elements: First-, Last-, Middle-, Title name, etc.
Under the Global Options you can set some default format for all the Names in the database, by using Mask.
You can display a name John Marshall Erickson Jr. like this:
- John Marshall Erickson Jr. (separated with spaces only )
- John Marshall, Erickson (without Jr. and with comma before the Last Name)
- John Erickson (without the middle name and Jr.) etc.
Setup and Configuration
In order to add a Mask:
- Go to Global Options > Crew List - Personal details > General;
- Enable "use mask on name input" option;
- Define the Mask according to your needs.
The setup screen contains elements/separators that you can use for the Mask and gives a preview of how the Name will be displayed according to your Mask.
All the Names in the database will be updated according to this Mask.
