Use Automation Rules to Correct Capitalization
The Automation Rules functionality now offers two more functions for the manipulation of text strings.ย ย These the two functions were specifically added to complement the upcase and downcase functions that were already available.ย ย The upcase function replaces each lowercase character in a text string with its equivalent capital character.ย ย Similarly, the downcase function replaces the capital characters with their equivalent lowercase characters.
The two new functions are:
- capitalize โ Downcases a text string and then capitalizes only its first character.
- titleize โ Downcases a text string and then capitalizes the first character of each word in the string.

A โwordโ is defined here as a part of the string that has a word boundary at its start and end.ย ย A word boundary is obviously found at the very start and the very end of the string, and it is also a space character, the @ symbol, a full stop, etc.
The new titleizeย ย function will be especially useful for providing consistency in the way the names of people are registered.ย ย This function can be included in the SCIM User Automation Rules.
