Standardizing School Name Entry

Hi everyone,

Recent move to Tess is causing us to re-examine our data entry standards for school groups.

We're still struggling with a lot of this...

       St. Elizabeth School vs Saint Elizabeth School

       John Walsh Elementary vs Walsh, John Elementary

etc

Can anyone point me towards a good resource for naming conventions so we can standardize?

Thanks in advance for your help!

  • I agree.   The alias will help.  Also use wild cards when searching so you find the school name and don't create a duplicate.   Example.   VanBuren     I would search Van%Buren so that my search picks up  Van Buren and VanBuren.  Same with schools that have periods.   J.W. Smith Elementary    J%W% Smith  will pick up JW Smith and J.W. Smith
