Details

Name: A ten alphanumeric character field; enter a code to index the type name being added.

Description: A sixty alpha character field, enter a precise description for the type name item, for example, business name, trading name, preferred name.

Line length: This determines how many characters long, the name may be. Note that Tax will only record 48 characters for a name.

Multiples: This refers to whether you wish to allocate two or more of this particular type code to a contact. For example, if you wish to enter two or more business names to a contact, flag this entry as a multiple by pressing [Y].

You should not use multiples if you wish to use the name type you are adding for printing letters, as only the first name will print. Therefore if you wish to use the name type you are adding in letters, and multiples apply, you should set up two name types for example, Banker1 and Banker2.
