Protocol for entering 'Sir' or Knight

Post by dhj »

What is the general consensus for entering details of somebody who has a title eg 'Sir' Do you put the 'Sir' before or after the name or not all?

You can add 'Sir' as the Name Prefix and then you have some control over whether it is displayed in Diagrams, and Reports, etc.

In FH V3 Name Prefix is found in the Property Box on the Details tab.
in FH V4 Name Prefix is found in the Property Box by clicking more... next to Name on Main tab.

Then use the NAME:ADORNED qualifier to display the name with the Prefix (and Suffix).
Other qualifiers are :PREFIXED, :SUFFIXED, :ADORNED_FULL, :PREFIXED_FULL, and :SUFFIXED_FULL.

You can also add a Title Fact that defines the full Title and where and when it was endowed.
