:It may happen that you need to have separate fields for clients' first and last names during registration process.
:Now it is possible with our [[Client_Fields_Custom_Feature|Client Fields]] feature and new reordering functionality.
 
:'''Please note!''' This setup is available with [[Client_Login_custom_feature|Client login]] feature enabled.
 
;How to use
:1. Enable Client Fields custom feature on the Custom Features page.
[[File:Client fields enable path.png|border|center]]
 
:2. Go to its settings by clicking on Manage link. 
:Or navigate to Manage -> Client fields in the left-side menu.
[[File:Client fields settings path.png|border|center]]
 
:3. You will see default registration fields there. Select the first one called Name and rename it to First Name. Save.
[[File:Rename to first name.png|border|center]]
 
:4. Click on + at the top to create new client field, add Last Name as a Question title and select Textbox - Single line type.
:By default the field is set to be obligatory to fill in by clients but if you need to make it non-mandatory please use the corresponding switcher.
[[File:Add last name.png|border|center]]
 
:5. Select its position to be after First Name and save.
:Or if you have already saved the field use the arrows to re-order.
[[File:Reorder fields.png|border|center]]
 
:6. (optional) Add the desired variables to the notifications templates in Settings -> Email and SMS settings (or [[Flexible_Notifications_custom_feature|Flexible notifications]] feature if you have customized them per service/provider).

::For example, you can make booking related more personal by using only first name in the greeting.
::(here we are using default [client] variable as we have simply renamed the default field in step #3)
[[File:Client first name variable.png|border|center]]
 
::Or sound more official with only last name use.
::(client field is used here, taken from step #4)
[[File:Client last name variable.png|border|center]]
 
::Or even use both if you like.
::(default variable and client form combined)
