# Other Name Type

When entering occupant information, you may want to give the occupant an “other name”. You indicate what type of other name you are using (whether it is a company name, contact, etc.) in the Other Name Usage field (see the User Manual). Other name usages must be set up using this option.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**

*The other name types of “Firm” and “Mail Stop” are automatically added. These are used by Quadient’s address cleansing software.*
{% endhint %}

#### To define other name types:

* Select Other Name Type from the Occupant menu to display the Other Name Type screen.<br>
