Name Type

Name Type Definition Window (Name Type Master Table)

 

The *ALL type must exist in the Name Type Master table at all times.

Name type codes are defined via the Name Type Definition window and are stored in the Name Type Master table. A name type code is used to describe a type of name code that is used to filter names. This allows you to subset the names you are interested in.

 

A type of BUS would indicate a business name; a type of FAC would indicate a faculty name; a type of STU would indicate a student name; and a type of *ALL would indicate all names which appear in the Name Master table.
