Details Fields
This table lists and explains the fields in the Details section.
| Field Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| Person ID | This is the non-editable unique ID number assigned to each user in your MSL System. It differs from the ID or card number issued by the university or other parent institution. This field is displayed only in the Person's Details window. |
| ID / Card Number | This field is populated with the student number assigned to the user by the university or other parent institution. The field can be completed either by users completing a registration page or through university data files/SSO login. This field is editable on the Person's University window. |
| Title | This is the user's title - a term used to address or refer to an individual, like Miss, Mr, Mx, Dr, etc. You can either enter it freely or select from a dropdown list of previously entered titles. To organise your list of titles, see Titles. |
| First Name | This is the user's personal name that identifies and distinguishes them from other members of their family. The field can be completed either by users completing a registration page or through university data files/SSO login. This field is mandatory. |
| Middle Name | This is the user's middle name, which they can optionally input when filling out a registration page or through university data files/SSO login. |
| Last Name | This is the user's surname which is shared by members of a family. The field can be completed either by users completing a registration page or through university data files/SSO login. If the user goes by a mononym, enter a period (.) in this field. This field is mandatory. |
| Preferred Name | This is the name that an individual chooses to be called by, which may differ from their first name. When provided, this field replaces first name throughout the MSL System. If the University data includes a separate preferred name field, it will be applied to new records the first time they are imported. |
| Pronouns | This is the set of pronouns that a user prefers to be referred to with. By default, this field allows you to freely enter the user's pronouns. If configured, it can also appear as a dropdown list with pre-defined pronoun options, for example, she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/them/theirs. If required, contact support@ukmsl.com and provide the list of pronouns you prefer to have displayed. |
| Date of Birth | This is the user's date of birth, which can be entered either by users filling out a registration page or imported through university data files/SSO login. This field is mandatory. |
| Uniquifier | The MSL System needs the combination of first name, last name, and date of birth to be unique. If there are different users with the same details, this field can be used to differentiate them. |
