If your name has a typo or is in need of correction, we highly recommend that you send a request to change the official name to HR by clicking Request Edit
. Workday name corrections will sync with your profile in Beatrix.
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
, orProfessional
.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.
There are rules for the suffix options available and how they appear on the profile:
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.
If a suffix of any of the types does not appear in the drop-down menu, email ysm.editor@yale.edu to request a change.
Changes to either the Display Name or Suffixes will change the data in the profile header as well as the contact info on the profile.
