Reverse Names

The Reverse Names tab is used to cleanup lists of names used in IQSweb so that they are in the format of "last name, first name middle name."  You can select one of the three categories of reference data lists to view - Certifiers, Issuers or Instructors.  All values in the selected list are displayed in the name column on the left.  Suggested replacements for names that do not appear to be in the "last name, first name middle name" format are displayed in the Replace with column.  The Instructors list is slightly different in that the instructors for IQSweb are stored in the database in 3 separate fields.
