How do I update my name, prefix (Dr./Ms./Mr./Mrs.), or position title in Elements?
Answer
Names and prefixes (Dr./Ms./Mrs./Mr.) of users as well as their position titles in Elements are imported directly from Banner and can only be changed at the source (i.e., within Banner). Therefore, you must contact your Banner rep, usually your HR rep in your department or college, and have them update your name, prefix, and/or title for you.
You can let them know the names of the fields and where they are imported:
- For the prefix, the field is called spbpers_name_prefix on the screen PPAIDEN.
- The field data is imported from the Banner university functional title field, found on the PWADREM and the PWAVTTL form in Banner.
Once the information is updated in Banner, the update should appear in Elements by the next business day.
