Set Up Name Components

Set Up Name Components

Security:
Set Up: Contact Info, IDs, and Personal Data
 domain in the Contact Information functional area.
You can review name components and configure names in your tenant.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Name Components by Country
    task.
  2. Select the country to configure name components for.
  3. Select the
    Recruiting Name Components
    tab to set up names only for Workday Recruiting. Select the
    Name Components
    tab to set up names for all other functional areas in Workday and for recruiting agencies.
  4. Use these options to hide or require name components, or make them optional:
    • Allowed
       to control the component the user interface and web services can collect.
    • Required
       to control the component the user interface enforces.
    • Required in web services
       to control the component web services enforce.
    • Label Override
       to control the descriptive label for a name component. Workday delivers label overrides for name components for each country. You can't change the label override for a required component. You can clear the
      Allowed
      check box for a name component and it will no longer be used.
  5. Select from these options if you're setting up names for a country that has local script name components:
    • Enable Western Script check box
       to allow your users to override required local script or Western script name components.
    • Western Script required
       to enforce a minimum set of Western script name components.
    • Local Script required
       to enforce a minimum set of local script name components.
