Preferred Name Visibility

What we’re doing:

We are in the process of updating pages on the web portal to display an employee’s preferred name in lieu of their legal first name

Why we think you’ll like it:

Atrieve recognizes that school district employees may use first names other than their legal first name to identify themselves. Replacing an employee’s name with their preferred name fosters inclusivity and a more positive workplace culture.

Learn more:

Activate preferred name in the areas below by going to Tools > Security & Setup > User Profile Maint - Tabbed > ALL. Set field “display preferred name” to Y.

The preferred name field is found in Atrieve Web > HR > HR Demographics > Employee Add/Change/Inquiry. The intention of the preferred name field was always to hold a preferred first name, not a full name.

The following pages have been updated to display an employee’s preferred name in lieu of their first name if it exists on the HR Demographics screen:
