Names on Email notifications
How do you alter the names that appear on email notifications generate either from the calendar or from however notifications are sent by the bishopric? These come with the individual's full name rather than their preferred name. Can that be altered?

By the user? I don't think the users currently can alter the system to show preferred names over given names, as this likely is a programmer / coding issue.

Re: Names on Email notifications
Different functions pull names from different places. I would check that preferred names are properly recorded in MLS, and that the name at LDS Account is as desired. My search skills and the new Forum format are conspiring to keep me from finding an earlier post that discusses which software pulls which name from where.rtonkinson wrote:How do you alter the names that appear on email notifications generate either from the calendar or from however notifications are sent by the bishopric?

And my feeble memory does not allow me to recall if the name can be changed in all instances. But I think most times it can be.

See the topic Full name on email to ward, in particular this post (but in the rest of the topic you'll see that the advice works for some people but not for others).lajackson wrote:And my feeble memory does not allow me to recall if the name can be changed in all instances.

change the name used for notification
Hi,
I have created the calendar of my ward. They received the email notification with my full name. Can we change to my preferred name (first and last name)?
Thanks,
Luc Pichot
