When creating a new account, is it possible that after entering family's English last name, the Yiddish name should come in automatically.

Question

i.e.  When entering the zip code for a new address the city,state & location automatically comes in. Something similar.

Answer 1

There is something like this called Name Match that you can setup in administration, but we should only be used in cases when its not possible to enter the yidish name yourself (For example employee entering does not know Hebrew).

Because when people get the Hebrew name spelled a generic way, not the way they spell it, its usually a red flag.

Lets say my name is Lenerovics which in Hebrew you could spell it in any of the following variations.

לענעראוויטש

לענרוויץ

לענעראוויטס

We can only set one of these to come up, but the person himself might be using something else. So if he gets anything with the name misspelled it usually ends up directly in the trash.

How can I set it up?

You need to go in to admin by name match, enter the English name and the Hebrew name you want to come up for it.

Whats the use case that you need this for?

---

To speed up registration process.

This only works in the Fundraising currently. In Tuition you can usually get the spelling directly from the parents.

---

Can this feature be added in the tuition program as well?

---

Any update?

Currently its not being added to Tuition.
