How is The Candidate Name Format Defined?

A person name format type defines how a person's name appears across applications. In Oracle Recruiting, the universal name type is used for candidates, for fields that appear in the career site, the create candidate flow, and the candidate profile.

The person name style is configured using the Manage Person Name Styles task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Here's an example to change the formal of the Suffix field from text to a list of values:

1. You first need to create a lookup for the Suffix field using the Manage Common Lookups task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.
2. After that, you need to configure the person name style.
3. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, click the Tasks icon.
4. Click Search.
5. Search for the task Manage Person Name Styles.
6. On the Person Name Styles page, select a country.
7. On the Name Styles page, add the Suffix name component if it's not already selected, then add the lookup you created in Step 1.
