How to Change a Display Name

What is a display name?

A display name is how your name appears on Plecto dashboards, slideshows, contests, or other places where employees are listed.

Your display name is only visible in the organization you set it, so if you are part of multiple organizations, you can choose a different display name in each of them.

Are you part of multiple Plecto organizations? If you change your first and last names in the account settings, the changes will apply across all organizations whereas the display name will only show in the organization you change it. To access the account settings, click your name in the bottom-left corner, then click the Account settings button.

How to change the display name

1. Go to Settings > Employees.

2. Find the employee whose display name you want to change (it can also be your own), then click Edit on the right.

3. Find the field Display Name and enter the preferred name.

4. Click Save to finish.
