The Person file records any type of person that are related to your other records like Objects, Events, Documents and Activities. It records both historic and contemporary people and companies, and groups such as communities. Person records can link to one another to show familial or business relationships.
Person records can have multiple names of varying types. This means that you can record acronyms, common names, preferred names, maiden names, known as, and aliases. Each name can have a date associated, so you can record when a name was changed.
