    Different Display Name for Windows Users

    Status: Comments Requested
    by Board Manager ihayesjr on ‎06-15-2012 07:09 AM

    When using Windows Authentication, the username used by Vault to fill checkin by, check-out by etc. is the DomainName\UserName.   Can you add an option to use the initials or the Display Name of the Windows user. Or add a way to create in Vault a display name for promoted users.

    This is a good one. If there were a checkbox option to import the Display name for imported domain users vs the User Name that would make life easier when setting up Routings on Change Orders.

    Good Point! The Domainname/Username is also displayed in the Vault Revision Table on the DWG. An extra field (property) for the controlled username (First + Last name properties?) in the user menu would be nice.

    Add an Initals column to Vault "User Management" table. Allow it to be mapped to an Active directory ADUC field or not and maintain the Initials centrally. Map to Custom (i)Properties in the files.
