Question:
When I type in a name field and a list of Contact names appear, I notice that some names have a (C) or (V) at the end. Why do these letters appear and what do they mean?
Answer:
(C) means Customer and (V) means Vendor. These letters were added to ends of Contact names back in 2016 because some of our client sites enter names for some Contacts twice: once as an Employee and again as a Customer or Vendor. This sometimes caused problems when users selected a name (such as the Vendor) when the Employee was meant, or vice-versa.
Now, Customers and Vendors are clearly identified (while Employees are identified through the lack of a letter of the name) in lookups and autocomplete name fields throughout Spitfire. Users can thus tell which name is an Employee, a Customer or a Vendor.
