Aliases

It is possible to create multiple 'Alias' contact records, and link them all to the 'Real' name of a contact. This may be of use in cases of multiple pen names, or where name changes have occured but the name on a historic title must be kept the same.

To create this Alias, you simply need to create a contact record as per the usual method. Once you have created this record, select 'More detail'.

Select the Alias / Nom de Plume checkbox, and a 'Real Name' field will appear.

Use the magnifying glass to select the 'Real name' contact record.

If an individual has had a name change, and the current 'real name' record needs to become the Alias, simply create a new contact record with the new name. Once this is done, open up the 'old' name record, select Alias / Nom De Plume, and link it to the new record.
