Hello,
We recently went live with the ConnecttoAD Sync. The last name field is a required field. There are a few of our users who want to go by a different last name then their legal last name. Is there a better field that we can use in UKG for this? Thanks!
As a temporary workaround we removed the employee number from the user’s AD account.
UKG doesn’t have a standard preferred last name field, so you can consider creating a custom field in UKG to store their preferred last name and using that.
However, if its only a few users, then you can use a conditional expression to make sure that their last name is never updated.
The conditional expression will have 2 conditions as described below:
WHEN
Employment.EmployeeNumber.OneOf("001234,004321,006789")
THEN
Ignore
WHEN
Default
THEN
Person.LastName
This states to ignore this mapping for specific employees, but then use the UKG last name for everybody else.
