This page is applicable to all report types except pivot chart and pivot table.
The Name field in your report displays name values such as Customer Name, Employee Name, or Subscriber Name. This field has predefined properties that allow you to view the name in a format that suits your requirement. The report can display the full name or the first name of the person, include prefixes such as Mr. or Miss, and suffixes such as Ph. D., M. A., or M. D., based on the nature of your need and audience. All or some of these constituents form the name field. The values are displayed based on the predefined properties applicable to the field.
