Use this program to set up acceptable titles that can be either prefixes or suffixes to customers' names. Title codes are accessed through the F7 pop-up window on the Reservations screen and the RA Open screen. If your print program is so configured, the title will print with the customer's name on the rental agreement.


To access the Edit Title Codes program, type EDTITL (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate line number on the Customer Control Files menu. The screen will then display:

Enter data as follows:

1. TITLE NUMBER

Enter up to a 3-digit number that will be associated with this title.

EXAMPLE: Type 1 (RET).

2. TITLE CODE

Enter a code to represent the title. It is the code that is used in the Reservations and RA Open programs.

EXAMPLE: Type DRMD (RET).

3. PREFIX

If the title should precede the customer's name, enter the complete title here.

EXAMPLE: Type DR. (RET).

4. SUFFIX

If the title should follow the customer's name, enter the complete title here.

EXAMPLE: Type: M.D. (RET)

User Tip: Some titles may have either a prefix or a suffix; some may have both.

Shown below are some examples and how they appear in the Shift/F7 pop-up window. Notice that the title "DR" is a prefix only. Using the code "DR" for Mary Jones would mean her name would print as Doctor Mary Jones. If however, the code "DRMD" was used, her name would print as Dr. Mary Jones M.D.
