Community – Display Name
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to easily customize the name display for your community members in Mentortools. You have various options—from displaying the full name, only the first name, to a freely selectable display name. This helps you create the perfect atmosphere for your community, whether formal or completely relaxed. Let's get started!

Display Name Overview
Here you can determine how member names are displayed in your community.
You have three options to choose from:
"Show first and last name": If you select this option, the first and last name of every community member will be displayed. This is the default setting.
"Only show first name": If you want only the members' first names to be visible, choose this option. This can be useful for a more informal or anonymous environment.
"Allow the community member to choose a display name": With this setting, you give members control over how they appear in the community. They can set their own display name, which is then shown instead of their real name.
