LaserFiche Forms, Changing Display Name (by Administrator)

Forms Version 9 Administration How To

Updated June 21, 2017

asked on June 20, 2017 • Show version history

I'm using Laserfiche Forms 9.2.0.853 and I want to change the Names of some of my users that synchronized over from our Laserfiche Server. There does not seem to be any method of doing single or mass modification of these fields from the Administrator login. I would be required to login to each users account individually in order to change these values.

So, seeing this does not exists would it be "safe" to modify the field directly through SQL? The field cf_users.displayname stores the values I would like to adjust. Any thoughts on this breaking any integrity within Laserfiche or Forms doing these modifications manually?

FROM [LF_Forms].[dbo].[cf_users] displayname

Direct manipulation of the SQL databases is never recommended or supported. In my experience, there's always some other reference or dependency that isn't easily identified, and that is where you will likely run into problems. My guess is that even if it did work without causing problems, it would likely just change back anyway after the next sync.
