Introduction

The Display format option gives you the possibility to configure how names (firstname and lastname) of users and contacts are being shown in various places.

Administrator settings

Administration - System - System settings - Basic settings - Display format

Extensions will display the name according to DISPLAY_FORMAT possible placeholders are "(firstname)" and "(lastname)" and the name is created using sprintf. E.g. a DISPLAY_FORMAT %(firstname)1.1s %(lastname)s will result in sprintf("%1.1s %s",$firstname,$lastname. A placeholder can not be used more than once.

Example:

User First name: First

User Last name: Lastname

Display formatDisplay DE devices
%(firstname)1.1s %(lastname)sNumber F.LastName
%(firstname)s.%(lastname)0.0sNumber First.
%(firstname)s %(lastname)1.2sNumber First La
%(firstname)s, GigasetNumber First, Gigaset
GigasetNumber Gigaset
"invalid"Number ""

Important

The web-interface will not give an error if you enter a invalid display format. On the display of the devices only the internal number will be shown if this happens.
