Create New or Edit a Person Name

If a student, staff, or volunteer name changes, you can change it after a record has been created.

Your choices are to create a new name or edit the existing name.

• Create a new name if the person is going by another name. This will add a new row to the Personal Data History, which is important to keep in the historical record of the student.
• Edit a name if you're correcting a spelling typo, adding a nickname or making some other minor change. The date in the name row will be updated to the current date.
