Add/Edit the Preferred Name Question

The Preferred Name question allows graduates to tell you how they would like their name to appear or be used during the ceremony when that differs from the name in your official data.


Add the Preferred Name question
1.  Open Ceremonies module and edit the ceremony.
2.  Go to Website tab > Registration Form tab.
3.  Choose the section where the question should appear and select Add New Question.
4.  Select Preferred Full Name as the question type.
5.  Customize the question title and description. Question titles have a 150-character limit; use the description for any additional guidance graduates need.
6.  Choose the appropriate question settings. Set whether the answer is required, visible, and editable, and add an expiration date or dependency if appropriate.
7.  Save the question and review it on the form.

 



Review submitted preferred names
After graduates submit preferred names, review those responses using the validation view in the Graduates module. This gives your team an opportunity to confirm submitted content before it is used in the ceremony experience.
