Change your name in the system

There are two places where names can be adjusted in the Find Your Ally appointment portal:

counter_1 Profile Name

  • The First Name and Last Name on the Profile are not visible to the public. The names in the profile are affiliated with logging into the system and the account.

    • For Caseworkers, the First Name and Last Name designated in the Profile area determines the name that the system calls you for your account. This name is displayed on the top right of the screen when you are logged in.

    • For Provider Administrators, the First Name and Last Name in the Profile area is also displayed in the list of Provider Administrators for each Location.

counter_2 Caseworker Display Name

  • For Caseworkers, the name entered into the Name field on the Caseworker edit screen will be displayed to clients during booking (if enabled for the Location) and on the auotmated email communications from the system.
