Learner name display in drop down menu

Roshelle Taylor

We recently changed the login id for saml sign on from learner email address to learner employee id#. When we did that, if you run an individiual report in Core, you type in the last name, it shows employee first name and employee number. Our org has multiple employees with the same name, so you can't be sure you're choosing the right one. the email address would show which employee you're choosing. If we could choose what we want in the name display that would be helpful.

We looked at this and agree that the UserID is prioritized over the email address in the User filter on reports. We can see that the email address is 1) unique and 2) usually more human readable, so we can adjust our prioritization algorithm to show email address first and if missing, show UserID. 

I cannot give you a specific timeframe for this enhancement but we will consider adding it in a future release.

Thanks for your suggestion.
