1. Go to Admin Center 
2. Select Configure Business Rules
3. Create New Rule
4. Select the Base Object as Personal Information
5. Configure the rule as below

 IF = Always

THEN SET  "Personal Information.Display Name" to be equal to "Format()"
                                Template:  "Text"    %s %s
                                                Argument: Personal Information.First Name
                                                Argument: Personal Information.Last Name

 Example: 

 

       6. Finally you need to set the Rule via Manage Business Configuration under the "personalInfo" element - you can assign it as:

• An "onChange" rule to the "first-name" and the "last-name" fields (or respectively any of the fields you are using in the rule to set the "display-name" value).
• An "onSave" rule to the "personalInfo" element

 

NOTE: You could include other fields such as "middle-name" field or even custom-string fields - but if you want to trigger the rule "onChange" then you will need to add the rule as onChange to each field that contributes to the "display-name" field defined in the rule.
