Type
"Specify whether the description is a function or one of its subdivisions, in accordance with national or international terminology." 5.1.1
ICA-AtoM ships with a drop-down menu using a default taxonomy of six core types (function, subfunction, business process, task, activity, transaction); these cannot be removed or edited, but editors or administrators can add new types.
Authorized form(s) of name
"Record the authorised form(s) of name of the function. Use the territorial or administrative scope of the function, the name of the institution which performed it and other qualifiers as appropriate to distinguish the function from other functions with similar names. This element is to be used in conjunction with the Function description identifier element (5.4.1)." 5.1.2
Parallel form(s) of name

This is a multi-value field: enter as many names as you like.
Other form(s) of name
"Record any other names of the function." 5.1.4
This is a multi-value field: enter as many names as you like.
