Table of Contents

Display Name

The name on your profile comes from the name in your record in Yale's HR systems. However, there are several ways to change how the name displays in the profile.

• You can Show middle name on web profile to have the official middle name display on the profile.

• You can also use the Display Name fields to change how the name displays on the profile, e.g. adding a nickname.

Display Suffixes

You can use the Suffix builder to create a custom suffix list for the profile based on family, academic, and professional suffixes.

• Choose which kind of suffix you want to add with the radio button next to Family, Academic, or Professional.

• The choice will populate the drop-down menu with the options available for the type of suffix.

• Once you have chosen your suffixes, you can arrange the order in which you want them to appear by dragging the suffixes into the order you want.

Family Suffixes: You can only have one family suffix (II, Jr., etc.) and it appears before the academic or Professional suffixes.

Academic Suffixes: You can add as many academic suffixes as you want and put them in any order you want, but they will only appear as an option in the - Choose One - drop-down menu if you have added the corresponding credentials to the profile in the Education section of the Profile manager.

Professional Suffixes: Generally gained through certifications and testing, you can add as many professional suffixes as you want and put them in whatever order you want.
