Titles

Guest and Contact profiles have a field for the person's Title (for example, Mr, Mrs, Herr, Dr, and so on) The titles available for selection when you open the list of values depends on the language selected in the Language field. For example, if you select E for the English language, the available titles might be Mr, Mrs, or Ms. If you select F for French language, the available titles might be Mlle, Mm, or M. Additionally, when you select the title, a default salutation for guests having that title populates to the Salutation field. For example, if you select the title "Mr" for Michael Summers, the default salutation might be "Dear Mr Summers." The default salutation text can be edited directly in the Salutation field.

Advanced Titles

Prerequisites for Advanced Titles

You can define and configure several different title suffixes for the same title and language by using the Advanced Title feature.

The advanced title feature meets the needs of certain countries, such as Germany, where a social title, such as Herr, might be combined with a professional title, such as Doctor.

The following are examples of how the Advanced Title arrangement might be used:

The salutation of a confirmation letter, such as “Herr Dr. Bernd Barysch”
An address where the Title (Herr) appears on a separate line

On the Manage Profile screen in the Title Number field, enter a number that identifies the unique combination of Title Code, Description, and Language. You cannot insert the same Title Code more than once without a Title Suffix. However, you can create as many descriptions and envelope greetings as necessary for the same Title Code and Language Code. Using German as an example, you can create several Title Codes = Herr and Language Codes = DE and each Title Code/ Language Code can have an envelope greeting. Each combination of Title Code and Description must have a unique Title Suffix number that identifies it. For example:

A Title code of Herr with a Title Suffix of 1 could have the Description containing the title of Herr with an envelope greeting, such as Herr Doctor with merge codes <FIRSTNAME> <LASTNAME>.
The same Title code of Herr could have a Title Suffix of 2 with the Description of Herr with merge codes <FIRSTNAME><LASTNAME> (without a professional title).
Additionally, the same Title Code of Herr could have a Title Suffix of 3 with the Description of Herr Professor and merge codes <FIRSTNAME><LASTNAME>.

When Advanced Title = N, you can configure the following titles:

Table 14-1 Advanced Title = N

Title Code	Description (Salutation)	Language Code
MR	Mr.<LAST NAME>	E
MR	Mr.<LAST NAME>	E

When Advanced Title = Y, you must assign a Title Suffix to duplicate titles:

Table 14-2 Advanced Title = Y

Title Code	Description (Salutation)	Language Code	Title Suffix
MR	Mr.<LAST NAME>	E	21
MR	Mr.<LAST NAME>	E	22
MR	Mr.<LAST NAME>	E	23
