  • 1.  Renaming user profile in purecloud

    Hi All
    A user has recently got married and needs to update their name, email address & WebRTC in Purecloud.  Please can you advise whether it is better/possible to rename/edit the respective user details in Purecloud or is it more advised to delete and recreate the user under the new married name?  In addition, what would happen to the data associated with the user under both scenarios (edit or delete/recreate)?
    Many thanks
    Mihael

    Hi Mihael
    I've encountered this scenario a handful of times since we began using PureCloud. It is possible to simply update the user name/email/etc rather than being forced to create a new profile, and that's the route I've gone. By renaming, all of the associated data stays tied to the user so it makes for much easier reporting and analytics. I've used other solutions, including one we currently use, where renaming isn't an option, and having to create a new profile is a real pain from an analytics standpoint since there's no way to tie the two users together. I presume the same would happen in PureCloud.

    Hi Emily
    Apologies for the delay and thanks for the response. I went down the route of recreating the profile in the end, as I too was thinking about the linking of datasets, but then didn't want to create additional issues if editing introduced any corruption or problems for the user when logging in. Yes it does take longer, but hopefully (fingers crossed) all will be ok.  I did call Purecloud support and they too recommended the recreation route so maybe there isn't a hard and fast rule? 
    Thanks again
    Mihael

    I'd agree, definitely not hard and fast. Glad you found a method that worked!
