Using the option to Include AKA as an additional entry in the index, does increase the count of names in the Index as seen at the top of the Index on the People, Tree work area but the count is increase only by the Preferred AKA. If one individual has two AKA, only the preferred AKA is included in the Index. But it does not change the number of individuals displayed on the Plan work area. This makes sense because the number above the Index is a count of the names and not a count of individuals. Just to check that this wasn't happening in the AMT, I added an AKA to an individual and up synced the record. The number of individuals continued to match on both the FTM file and the AMT.
