Modifying Account Name Formatting for Business-to-Business Child Accounts
A child account may be used for a business-to-business relationship, for example when a clinic is part of a larger health system. If the child_name format is the desired display for business-to-business child accounts, change the formula for the parent_child_name__v field on the child_account__v object to the following:
If (child_account__v__r.ispersonaccount, parent_account__vr.name__v + " " + child_account__vr.last_name_cda__v + " " + child_account__vr.first_name_cda__v, child_account__vr.name__v)
The default value of the formula is as follows:
If (child_account__vr.ispersonaccount__v, parent_account__vr.name__v & " " & child_account__vr.last_name_cda__v & " " & child_account__vr.first_name_cda__v, parent_account__vr.name__v & " " & child_account__vr.name__v)
A database refresh may be required for users to view new values based on the updated formula.
