* number of citations linked to source

[wigansaint]

Hi, as a relatively new user of v5 could anyone let me know how I can see the citations linked to a particular source? I can see the number linked to each source but can't figure out how to see what these citations are. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to display all the citations for a given source. There is a plugin called List all Citations for a Selected Source which does this. If you have not used Plugins before, they can be found in the Plugin Store. Go to Tools, then Plugins..., then click on Plugin Store....

The Plugin Bill mentions will give you a detailed results set showing each fact which cites the source, with the Entry date, Where within Source, Text from Source, Quality assessment and Note (all fields which appear in the Source Pane of the Property Box). Double-clicking on an entry in the Item column will take you straight to that particular fact in the Property box for the appropriate record.

I know you are using V5, but for the benefit of any users who have earlier versions and can't use Plugins, it is worth bearing in mind that if you only want to see a list of which Records are linked to a Source, rather than exactly which Facts, you can get this by selecting the Source in the Records window and using View>Record Links.

There is also a standard Query called Individuals Linked to Source, although it should be noted that this only lists the Individual Records linked, and does not include Family Records or Note Records which may also be linked to the Source. Both of these techniques are available to users who don't have Version 5.

There are also some useful queries in fhugdownloads:queries|> Downloads & Links ~ Queries, especially:
fhugdownloads:contents:people_linked_to_source|> Query:Individual ~ People Linked to Source
fhugdownloads:contents:more_facts_linked_to_a_source_v4_onwards|> Query:Fact ~ Facts Linked to a Source
