Anonymize Reviewer Names is the current setting for showing customer initials instead of full names in public reviews.

  

This setting changes public name display; it does not remove the underlying customer record from Rekaz.

  

# Steps

1.  From the Rekaz navigation, select Marketing Tools.
    
    _The Marketing Tools area opens._
    
2.  Open Customer Reviews.
    
    _The Customer Reviews dashboard opens._
    
3.  Select Settings.
    
    _The Review Settings dialog opens._
    
4.  Turn on Anonymize Reviewer Names.
    
    _Public reviews are configured to show customer initials instead of full names._
    
5.  Select Save Settings.
    
    _The reviewer-name privacy setting is saved._
