Two question about Players table view in dashboard.

Some players now have names showing. Where do they come from as they are not setup in the Player's information? Are they picked up automatically from facebook for display purposes only on this screen? Why only some players then?

What does Origination mean? We only login with Facebook, so what's the difference between PlayFab and Facebook here?

We pull the Name column from one of a few different sources, for convenience. If the player profile has a Username, that's what we go with. Otherwise, it's Title Display Name. And, if that's not there, we proceed to any social network sign-in usernames - in this case, Facebook's "full name". The issue with some players having that name available and others not appears to be a bug - thanks for calling that out. We'll dig into that and get it fixed as soon as we can.

Origination refers to how the account was created initially - RegisterPlayFabUser currently results in "PlayFab", while LoginWithFacebook with CreateAccount set to true results in "Facebook". There was a recent update to this to add the originations, so for older accounts, you may see "PlayFab" even if the account was created with Facebook, but going forward, this will always reflect the correct account creation mechanism.
