This field is used to capture the first name of the applicant. For college and high school transcripts, the first name is populated when either the runtime server or a Verifier user validates the applicant ID. If an invalid reason is selected for the applicant ID, the field is manually entered by a Verifier user. An automatic extraction from the transcript image is not performed. Automated extraction of this field is applied for Army, Navy, Marine, and Joint Services transcripts. If the applicant information does not match the extracted value, the field is presented for verification.
Note: For Header fields of all classes such as First
Name, Middle Name, Last
Name, and SSN, special characters such as comma
(,), fullstop (.), apostrophe ('), colon (:) and semicolon (;) are not allowed for
business and security reasons.
