Use

The Alternative Names Employee Self-Service allows employees in your enterprise to create, display, change and delete their alternative name. In this way, employees can ensure that the information is correct while simultaneously reducing the number of time-consuming and expensive activities performed by the Human Resources Department.

If an employee uses this Employee Self-Service to change his or her alternative name, the old data is automatically delimited. Old HR data is not lost. Instead, it is kept in full so that historical evaluations are possible. He or she may delete the change at a later date, in which case, the system reverts to the previous data and extends the validity dates accordingly. The deleted change can no longer be evaluated.
