<p>This module was written to extend the functionality of contacts to support
having separate last name and first name.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Configuration</a></h2>
<p>You can configure some common name patterns for the inverse function
in Settings > General settings:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Lastname Firstname: For example 'Anderson Robert'</li>
<li>Lastname, Firstname: For example 'Anderson, Robert'</li>
<li>Firstname Lastname: For example 'Robert Anderson'</li>
</ul>
<p>After applying the changes, you can recalculate all partners name clicking
"Recalculate names" button. Note: This process could take so much time depending
how many partners there are in database.</p>
<p>You can use <em>_get_inverse_name</em> method to get lastname and firstname from a simple string
and also <em>_get_computed_name</em> to get a name form the lastname and firstname.
These methods can be overridden to change the format specified above.</p>
<a name="usage"></a>
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Usage</a></h2>
<p>The field <em>name</em> becomes a stored function field concatenating the <em>last name</em>
and the <em>first name</em>. This avoids breaking compatibility with other modules.</p>
<p>Users should fulfill manually the separate fields for <em>last name</em> and <em>first
name</em>, but in case you edit just the <em>name</em> field in some unexpected module,
there is an inverse function that tries to split that automatically. It assumes
that you write the <em>name</em> in format configured (<em>"Lastname Firstname"</em>, by default),
but it could lead to wrong splitting (because it's just blindly trying to
guess what you meant), so you better specify it manually.</p>
<p>For the same reason, after installing, previous names for contacts will stay in
the <em>name</em> field, and the first time you edit any of them you will be asked to
supply the <em>last name</em> and <em>first name</em> (just once per contact).</p>
<a name="known-issues-roadmap"></a>
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Known issues / Roadmap</a></h2>
<p>Patterns for the inverse function are configurable only at system level. Maybe
this configuration could depend on partner language, country or company,
as discussed at <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/OCA/partner-contact/issues/210">this OCA issue</a></p>
