The 'Preferred Surname' field is a great addition to Student Manager, but it is a bit useless as long as we cannot have the option to display it on the student name list, such as for attendance registration, or Student Manager lists.
The option is there for Preferred first name/Prename, please can Preferred Surname be added as an option as well?
This is now on for your school @Guest.
Hi, Its Tonbridge Grammar School.

Many thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Michele,
Please can you turn this on for my school too?
Kind regards,
Katie
Hi Carrie and Julia,
Preferred Surname has been turned on for your schools. Please come back to me if you have any questions or issues via a support ticket for my attention.
Kind Regards,
Michele
Many thanks for your message ��� yes, please do turn it on for us ��� that would be really helpful.
With best wishes

This hasn't been released yet, but I can turn it on in Beta for your schools Katie and Julia.
Is this available yet? I have a student who has never been known as her official surname and since switching to EdGen her preferred surname isn't on any of her records, which she has been upset about.
This is currently being worked on
Please treat this as an URGENT upgrade - it is particularly important for new pupils joining in September to have their Preferred surname on all school lists and room labels/name tapes etc. Some have long and complicated official surnames which can cause embarrassment for new young pupils
This is part of the Preferred Surname project development work.
