Edit Name Dialog Box

Use the Edit Name dialog box to make changes to a contact's name.

Contents

Field Description
FIRST NAME Enter the contact's first name.
MIDDLE NAME Enter the contact's middle name or initial.
LAST NAME

Enter the contact's last name.

If the employee's name has a suffix (Jr., for example), enter it as part of the last name.

When you move the focus from this field, Deltek CRM compares the contact's name to existing contact names. If it detects possible matches, it displays a list of those contacts so you can determine if you are adding a duplicate record. If you are still not sure, you can click a contact in the list to display the full contact record on a separate browser tab.

PREFERRED NAME

Enter the name that the contact prefers to be addressed by.

If you enter a preferred name, the name that displays elsewhere in Deltek CRM (in contact lookup lists, for example) is the preferred name and last name.
