Preferred Name in Data Set

We're trying to find Preferred Name in a data set. On the Users table, there is a "FirstName". Does this return the Preferred Name (if one is set)? Or is Preferred Name on a different table?
Thank you!

Hi @Jason.H.500
Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community team.
As mentioned in the documentation, although there isn't a specific data set that exclusively provides the user's Preferred Name, the FirstName column will return the Preferred First Name if one is provided. If a Preferred Name is not set, the system will use the legal first name instead.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Best Regards,
