Census FAQ
What should I do if somebody in my district changes their name?
The Identities tab (Census > People > Identities) can be used to track changes to a person’s identity including name and gender identity changes. This also allows the search function to find people by using their current or former name.
Knowledge Base:
How do I handle staff members who are also parents?
Only create one person. Infinite Campus recommends that the staff member’s primary email address be their work email address. The person will have two user accounts; one for work access and one for parent access.
