June is JMP User Name Enigma Elimination Month

You'd never consider showing up at a customer site wearing a mask, right? (Though I'll admit that that question was more likely to get "no" for an answer before the pandemic.)

So, I'll ask you, why would have a username here in the JMP Community that hides who you really are? Maybe it's simply because you didn't know you could change your user name. 

Well, you can. And it's easy. Just go to your Settings (click on your name in the upper right corner of this page) and you'll see the field to change your username.

So, if your name is

• hiding your identity
• confusing to read
• not properly capitalized

now is the time to fix it!

I'd suggest something like:

• First_Last
• FirstLast
• Iniital_Last

Though anything that makes it easier to identify you, both internally and externally, is good.

Here are some tips:

• Capitalization is preserved
• Hyphens are allowed
• Non-Roman alphabet characters are allowed, so colleagues in China, Korea, Japan and elsewhere can use the names their parents gave them though you might want to add the Roman alphabet version of your name there as well (ジェフ_JPerkinson is a good way to honor both).

So, let's celebrate JUNE Elimination: JMP User Name Enigma Elimination and clean up our user names.

I'm looking at you:

@Janet_Brazel 

@Anonymous

@Azusa_Toyoda 

...and anyone else who is hiding behind an enigmatic user name. 

If you have any problems or questions contact @Ryan_Gilmore, or @Jeff_Perkinson (See how easy it is to know who they are?  

Celebrate JMP User Name Enigma Elimination month and fix your Community user name.

So happy to see this article resurfaced @Jeff_Perkinson because it's a great reminder for those of us who have been around a while as well as a best practice for the newer members of JMP.

Also, I believe photos are almost as important as names. I just changed mine to one that's less creative but more recognizable as me. In this time when so much is done online, it's more important than ever to be seen as personable and approachable -- and sometimes that can best be accomplished via a smiling photo.
