FAQ of the Month

Q: How is the Common Name field used in Genesis R&D Foods?

A. The Common Name field in the Ingredient record is often used to provide a shorter or simplified ingredient name since the database name is long and often complex. There are two primary instances where a populated Common Name shows up:

  • If the Ingredient Statement Name field is blank, the Common Name will be used as the name of the Ingredient in the ingredient statement.
  • When the Common Name field is populated and “Use Common Name” is selected in MyPreferences, the Common Name will be used in all records and reports.

To learn more about this and other My Preferences, please watch this tutorial.
