4. FAQ

4.1 How to solve the problem of duplicate "user name" in the address book?

In Anffy, the account information is based on the email address. The email address will not be repeated, but the address book user name may be repeated.

Processing Method

Method 1: Employee work numbers are unique and can be filtered by work numbers. For example, nicknames with work numbers are maintained in the address book.


Method 2: To maintain basic data, use member fields in the basic table to maintain basic information. Even if the names in the member fields are the same, the actual account information is unique. You can match it through the member fields and associate it with the target information.

Example: [Basic Data] - The application sets the following fields: name (single line of text), member field, unique value (single line of text).

4.2 What are the differences in the operation priorities between personal center nicknames and address book nicknames?

  • The official website version will have the function of adding members. When added, the default is the nickname of the person being added. At this time, the display related to some members in the address book and the system will be the nickname of the personal center. If the administrator manually changes it in the address book After the member's name, the member's nickname display in the system will be based on the modification in the address book. The display priority is Address Book > Personal Center.
  • The nicknames of members synced from the address book of the Anffy default to the address book nickname.
