Name Type Definitions
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
The Name Type Definitions page lets you update name type descriptions and export them to Excel. Name types classify names as belonging to a particular group (such as business, faculty, student, etc.). They are stored on the Name Type Master table.
To update name type definitions, you must belong to a role with "Can manage name type definitions" enabled. Jenzabar provides this permission with the Core, Campus-wide Definitions role, but your school may have created a customized version of this role.
Name type definitions can also be managed using the Desktop's Name Type Definition window. Changes made in J1 Web are saved in Desktop, and vice versa.
Name type definitions are saved in the NAME_TYPE_MASTER table.
