Add a field for Staff Legal name on STF
We have to use our staff's legal name for any state reporting. However, our district allow our staff members to operate with a preferred name. I am asking for a space for a staff legal name so we can use the preferred name everywhere else in the system (master schedule, portals, Staff table).

Hello, this idea has been completed in the 3/21/2024 update. Here are the relevant Revision Notes:
School Info > Staff - See Staff documentation.
The following fields were added allowing a staff member's legal name and gender to be recorded. Schools can use the existing non-legal name and gender fields for the staff's preferred name and gender. These fields are not included in state reporting extracts at this time.
- Legal Last Name (STF.LLN)
- Legal First Name (STF.LFN)
- Legal Middle Name (STF.LMN)
- Legal Suffix (STF.LSF)
- Legal Gender (STF.LGN)

I like the idea of adding a nickname field for the students. Some people prefer that their middle name not to be shown.

Yes!
A chosen name for students would be wonderful and help prevent students who have situations in which their legal or given name is traumatizing.

Add the option to use a nickname or preferred name all the while have a staff member's legal name still attached for state mandated requirements

A nickname field or alias field would be good for students as well.
