How can I switch between local and global formats to display person names?

You use the HR: Local or Global Name Format profile option. If you select the global name format, then person names appear in the same format across all legislations.

If you select a particular legislation, then person names appear in a format specific to that legislation. For example, if you set the profile option to Japan, then Japanese person names appear in the local name format that was created for Japan. However, person names that were stored using formats other than those of the Japanese legislation appear according to the global name format.
