Is it done like an alias, by putting 'or' between the names?

    Hi @PatriciaLee1 It depends on the Project, could you give us the Project Name and Batch Code found in brackets, like this [MMMM-111]

    You will separate both names by the word Or.

    Given Name: Bizalel Or Charles

    Surname: Kretzmer Or Joseph

    FYI: 1956913 is the Naturalization number, not the record number. Mark that field blank.
