Operator code generation

Automatically Generate SunSystems Operator Codes

Check this check box to create SunSystems users and operator codes based on Windows users in Active Directory.

The following options are activated only if you check the Automatically Generate SunSystems Operator Codes check box:

Convention for how Full Name is expressed

Select the appropriate option for SunSystems to interpret whether the user names received from Active Directory have the given name first, or the family name first. This setting is used only to identify the order of names for the option below, Operator Code generation algorithm, and does not affect the Full Name field generated for the SunSystems user.

Note: This option allows you to set the rule for interpreting the majority of user names that are likely to be encountered by the operator code generation algorithm. If a full name in Active Directory is expressed differently from the rule you set, it is still given an operator code; however, the generated code may not have all the initials or the order of initials you expected.

Operator Code generation algorithm

Select the option to determine the order of initials in the generated three-digit SunSystems operator codes. If an operator code already exists, the algorithm automatically defaults to the first and last initial followed by 0, or the next available number up to 9. If these ten operator codes already exist, the algorithm automatically defaults to the first initial followed by 00, up to 99.

Note: All words in the full name that are separated by spaces are treated as separate names when identifying the initials to use for the operator code, except for those that you specify on the Ignored connector words list.

Ignored connector words

Enter a list of words that may be parts of names in Active Directory, that should be ignored when deducing the initials to use in the operator codes. For example, if full names in Active Directory contain de, la, y, and so on, not adjoined or hyphenated, add these words to the list of ignored connector words so that the operator codes do not include initials for these words. Enter each word on a new line in the list.
