Concatenation of first 4 character from last name and last 3 character from first name

[Shilpa2]

Hello All,

I have a custom ID field in employee central personal information portlet and this field should be concatenation of Last 4 characters of last name and first 2 characters of first name, how do i get Last 4 characters of last name and first 2 characters of first name, in the business rule.

Thanks

Shilpa

You start of with a concatenate, and you'll require 2 substrings:

The last 4 letters is more difficult, but you could first have a variable to get the length (obviously, you'll use a different field than job classification):

Then you could use a substring with that length to determine the last 4 letters of the name (Length can actually also be 4 here):

First 2 letters of first name is via a substring (obviously, you'll use a different field than job classification):
