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

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.

When the display name format were changed, a re-provisioning of the phones might be necessary to see the changes on the phone.
