This display option allows you to define the way in which a name is automatically generated to accommodate name formats for different locales and character sets. The default syntax is as follows (please note that including commas and/or spaces in the definition will display in the name format):

For example, if you wanted to display a new name format for a user (User One) with a uid (11111) for the Chinese character set, define:
zh = {sn}{givenname}({uid})
The display is:
OneUser 11111
