I saw a post over in the Facebook PS group that someone using Basic says she has to name all her new clients, the default 4 letter 4 number auto naming wasnt happening in 2020....is this an option that you have to check to make happen?

@TaxGuyBill  youre familiar with Basic.    Is this an option, or does she have a bad install?

I just tested it in 2020 and it works as usual for me (using the 4 letter, 4 number method).

It has always done that before for me without selecting any options.  But I don't like that naming method, so I change the name of it.

I haven't done any new clients in 2020 yet, so I don't know if something has changed.

 

Or is the OP asking if it is possible to CREATE a different default naming method than the standard 4 letter, 4 number that ProSeries does?

She wants the default naming, she doesnt want to have to name them herself.

I wish it didnt do the default names, Id prefer my own naming system...but Im too lazy to go in and rename everyone  LOL
