Display name on user creation

Question

Hi there,

we are using a property pattern to create the DisplayName which consists of %firstname% %middleName% %lastname%
In a way this is working as long as Middlename is used but if its empty there are two spaces in the DisplayName.
Is there any chance to get rid of this?

kind regards
Ingemar

Hello Ingemar,

Yes, there is. You can configure a Business Rule triggered before creating a user that will trim the extra spaces. For information on how to create such a rule, see the following tutorial: http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_Simplif ... Script.htm.

On Step 5 of the tutorial, use the following PowerShell script:

# Get the Display Name
$displayName = $Context.GetModifiedPropertyValue("displayName")

# Trim extra spaces
$displayName = $displayName.Trim()

# Save changes
$Context.SetModifiedPropertyValue("displayName", $displayName)
