Add user organization/company to user displayed full name throughout WIndchill

Add user organization/company to user displayed full name throughout WIndchill

Within our system we have people working a variety of subcontracts and work for various companies. It would be nice to easily identify the user's company or organization without having to dig through to the user profile each time. If you use multiple organizations you can display the org they belong to as a separate columns but not in every table view. For us, it's often helpful to know what "organization"/contract/company someone works for when there are multiple people performing the same role.  If you're trying to find who is in charge for company A, then you have to go into their profile to check each one.

 

For example

Instead of: John Doe

It could instead say: John Doe (ACME Technologies)

Now you are certainly able to write that in the "user full name" box. It would be nice if it auto-populated based on a setting to either default to "full name" or be some combination of existing values.

 

For example the Setting could allow to auto create from existing fields such as: 

<Status> <Last name>, <First name> (<Nickname>) - [ <Organization>]

Deactivated - Smith, Robert (Bob) - [123 Technologies]
