Creating an Alias for a Contact

When using speech recognition on Voca, the system searches for a full Contact Name, by default.

An alias of the contact allows you to configure another name for a contact, known or more familiar under another specified name.

The alias for the contact can be configured for:

First Name: The alias only replaces the first name of the user.
Last Name: The alias only replaces the last name of the user.
Full Name: The alias replaces the full name of the user.

Depending on the configured option, the system will search for the contact with selected alias.

To create an alias for a contact:
1. Open the Edit Contact 1 of 2 screen (Contacts > Contacts List).
2. Select the contact you wish to edit by selecting the corresponding check box.
3. From the ‘Actions’ drop-down menu, choose Edit Contact.
4. Under the Alias group, click + sign; the following example appears:

5. Enter an alias name in the alias field (e.g., "Dave").
6. From the Alias Contact drop-down list, select the description field, for example, First Name.

7. For more aliases, click the sign.

7. Click Save Changes.
