The Prefix / Suffix Admin screen is used to review and edit the default drop down lists of prefixes and suffixes you can apply to your person records. This list is pre-populated with the items we recommend, but you can remove any you are sure you will not use in your records, or add others you wish to apply.
NOTE: the exact prefix or suffix MUST appear on this list if you have it added to a patron record in your database. If you remove any from this list that are currently in use, they will no longer appear on the screen when viewing that record.
ALSO NOTE: Prefixes and Suffixes should always ONLY refer to an individual, NOT to more than one individual. Each person records is designed to be one person only. Other fields on the database screen such as Name for Publication and formal and information Household name fields can refer to multiple persons, a household or family if you wish.
