Contact creation for CSM

[Bernadette Aler]

Hi,

When creating a contact, the User ID defaults to lowercase automatically. How to set it to make the first letters of the firs name and last name to be uppercase. example: Testing.Pink instead of testing.pink?

Hi @Bernadette Aler,

This is controlled by the Business Rule called 'Populate user-id'.

It does a little more than just concatenate the First and Last name to create the User ID , it importantly ensures the User ID is unique as per the call to the Script Include: CSManagementUtils and method: getNewUniqueUserName

Can I ask why you need to change this? Has it been specifically asked for? Typically the User ID is used for and by the system and therefore upon any system checks it is common place to always force values to lowercase so as to maintain consistency and and compatibility across different platforms and systems.

My strong advice would be to not implement the change you are requesting and push back on the requestor.

Hi Robbie,

Yes, it was requested by one of our users. Just wanted to find out before we deject the request. Thank you so much for a comprehensive answer, I agree, it will not be in the best interest to implement. I can now give a meaningful response to their request.
