  I have defined an entry for a channel, let's say of persons, to have some fields, let's say `firstname`, `lastname` and `bio`, but no title.
  
  When I created the first real entry, craft complained it had no slug. Apparently, that's drawn from the title.
  
  I expected I could define the structure of the entry's slug to be pulled from any field, like `{firstname}-{lastname}`.
  
  But I didn't find that option in the backend. Am I looking in the wrong place?

  Ah I found it: the option to enter the custom slug is displayed when you uncheck the Title.
  
  And I set
  
  ```
      // don't accept umlauts for slugs
      'limitAutoSlugsToAscii' => true,
  
  ```
  
  in the config.
