  3. Go to Locales tab
  4. Navigate to the Active Locale ID to be updated and rearrange the values (Note: {0}, {1} {2} = LastName, FirstName MiddleName, i.e. First Name MiddleName and Last Name =  {1} {2}, {0})
  5. Apply changes

Note:

  • This label will update name format in the Recents tab
  • This label will not change the name format in the following:
    • User record header
    • User record > Programs tab > Assigned by column (if the program is assigned by an admin, but it will be updated if the program is self-assigned)
  • The Learning system has thousands of labels that are used in multiple places.
  • Full testing should be done in a Stage environment before making the change in Production.
  • If the label does not update a specific location that was needed, please see KBA 2913764 and/or Record Configuration.
