The Name tab configures the fields that will be used for the name parsing functionality of the Contact Verification Component. Existing field names can be selected using the drop-down boxes. New field names can be created by typing the name into the box.
Input Name
The Name Parse tab requires data from a single field in order to populate its output fields.
- Full Name
- Select or enter the field name that will contain the name information to be parsed. This field can contain one or two full names, such as “Mr. John Q. Smith, Jr.” or “John Q. and Mary S. Smith.” If you do not set a field for Full Name, the Component will not parse name information.
Output Components
The output section consists of two sets of return fields. The first name detected will be returned by the first set of fields. If a second name is detected, it will be returned by the second set of fields.
- Prefix
- This field returns any part of the name that precedes the given name, such as “Mr.,” “Ms.,” or “Dr.,” for each full name detected.
- First Name
- This field returns the given name for each first name detected. Contact Verify can attempt to correct misspelled first names. To enable this feature, see the Name Parse Options screen.
- Middle Name
- This field returns the middle names or initials for each full name detected.
- Last Name
- This field returns the family name for each full name detected.
- Suffix
- This field returns any part of the name that follows the family name, such as degrees (“MD” or “PhD”) and generational indicators (“IV” or “Jr.”), for each full name detected.
- Gender
- This field returns a gender indicator for each full name detected. Gender is based on the first name. See the Name Parse Options screen for how to adjust how the Component assigns gender to a name.
- Salutation
- This field returns a salutation constructed from the first full name detected. To control how this salutation is formatted, see the Name Parse Options screen.
- Standardized Company Name
- This field returns a standardized company name.
