Refinement Panel Not Showing UserName

Question

I am adding a category in refinment panel which maps to a managed property of type People Group. It works fine except it displays login name of the user instead of display name. I need to display name like "Alex Wong" not like "domainname\loginname".

In the refinement panel schema I am using type as "ManagedPropertyFilterGenerator" and using managed property name as "Mapped Property".

Please let me know if you have any idea about how can I display username here.

I checked category name 'Author' in OOB webpart but there 'Author' column type is single line of text not people and group.

When you want to modify the people refinement panel you can do it this way: Search Refinement Panel

If it's for a list, you can solve it almost the same way. You could do it with a hidden field in the list.
