TIPS & TRICKS

Question: Is it possible to change the name associated with a 'Person ID' once an employee's name has changed?

Solution: There are some important reasons why a Person ID can't be changed, but here are some guidelines to follow:

The Person ID gets used throughout the system and so updating it everywhere would be a large undertaking. Instead of using the employee's name, think about using random numbers to make up a 'Person ID.' For example set the Person ID to be the same as the employee number.

1.

You can open up the Person form and change the Name field to adjust to the persons new name.2.

The userID the employee uses to login will not be able to be changed, so it is recommended to set up a new UserID. Then you can go to the Person Form and in the UserID field, select the new UserID you just setup (you'll need to also setup the Security Roles on the new ID as well). You can then deactivate the other UserID.
