Adding an Alias

Any time a person is known by more than one name, or has legally changed their name, an alias should be added so when we do a name search, we can find that person by whatever name they are currently using.

From the MENU: Person, Alias

From the PERSON DETAIL SCREEN:

• Alias Type: Choose the appropriate alias type.
• First, Middle, Last name: If you are adding a regular name, such as an AKA or Formerly Known As, enter the first name, middle name if applicable, and last name.

If you are adding a nickname and it only has one word, such as Bubba, put it in the last name.

The system will copy the identifying information from the original person.

• Notes: Type notes if necessary.

Click on the UPDATE button or press ALT+U to save your changes.

Aliases will show up as AKA on a name search.
