The Aliases & Other Identifiers screen is one of many demographic screens used either when booking an offender into an institution, or when performing an intake to activate an offender's file for community work.
The Aliases & Other Identifiers screen records all of the offender's known alias names, and designates one name as the working name that TAG displays whenever you open this record. (When you book/intake an offender, the name under which the ID# was assigned automatically becomes the working name.) You can also record additional pieces of identification, correct misspellings in the name or change the birthdate.
For institutional work: if you haven't used a formpath through the
booking sequence, select Institutions 
Booking Aliases/Other
Identifiers from the Main Menu.
For community work: if you haven't used a formpath through the intake
sequence, select Community
