For UK HR & Payroll-integrated customers, employees' preferred names are set up and managed through the HR module.

Log in to HR > Employees > Employee List > Search for and select an Employee
Go to Employee Info > Personal Details
Enter the Preferred Name and Save

The preferred name will then be sent to Scheduling to update the employee's record.

For any 3rd party HR-integrated customers, the preferred names will need to be sent to Fourth.

If an employee has no preferred name, their first and last name will be displayed in Scheduling.

The pages within the solution that will display preferred names from 19th May 2022 are:
