however, it is not necessarily the same as First Name and Last Name in the Employee
Editor, and it could also be different from the CPND name for a given DN.
The CPND name appears in the CPND application and as the Display Name attribute in
the Employee Editor if there is only one DN and the Link To Directory check box is
selected. The employee name appears in Station Administration indicating the owner of
the DN and in the First Name and Last Name fields in the Employee Editor as the proper
name for the employee. The First Name and Last Name can be synchronized with a
corporate LDAP server. The master repository for the employee name will usually be
the corporate LDAP server; however, the information for the Display Name attribute for
an employee may come from either the corporate LDAP server or from OTM.
Display Name
A single display name is associated with an employee and can be synchronized with a
corporate LDAP server. If an employee has more than one DN, and there are different
display names associated with each of the DNs, then either none or only one of the
names is shown as the Display Name attribute of the Employee Directory. The name that
appears as the Display Name attribute is taken from the entry in the CPND application
that has the Link To Directory check box selected. To view the display name in the
Employee Directory, click the Additional Info tab, and select Display Name in the
attributes list.
Employee Directory
Employee Directory refers to the database of employee information.
Employee Editor
The user interface to the Employee Directory is referred to as the Employee Editor.
Employee Directory and Employee Editor are used interchangeably to indicate the
employee database information.
Employee name
The employee name is the created from the First Name and Last Name fields that appear
in the Employee tab of the Employee Editor. This is the name of the owner of the
telephone.
Employee
An employee is a user of assets on a PBX. An employee will have one employee name
and either none or only one Display Name attribute. An employee may have a different
CPND name for each DN. However, for every DN that has the Link To Directory check
box selected, the CPND name matches the Display Name attribute.
