Volunteer Schedule only show last initial.

We use ServiceBuilder to do all our volunteer scheduling. We have a link to our pubic servicebuilder schedule on our website. We love it. You have done great work Jason!

However, we have had some people who feel uncomfortable that their first and last names are shown online. There are a variety of different reasons for this (People know when they are gone from their house. Minors first and last names are shown, etc.).

It would be great if you could make it so that the public calendar would just show the first initial of the last name or at least give us the option to do this. If it was hard to just show the first letter, i guess you could just create a public name category in the database. We could enter in an abbreviated name for those who were concerned. If you had people with the same first name and initial, it might be a little confusing, but they would still get notified when they serve via the automatic settings.

Thanks again for all your work!

This is now completed. Thanks for the good idea.

The default now is to hide the surname -- just a first initial is used. Should you want the entire name to be public, you can enable it in settings, under account.

I will also be adding it to the RSS feed and iCal feeds.
