Links to Note Records

Post by NickiP » 18 Jan 2015 19:18

I can't find anything on this but I may have missed it.

I have a number of Note Records which were imported via Gedcom from FTM which I would like to change so that they show as Local Notes for the individuals concerned and then show in the Focus Window, rather than having to change to the Notes tab in the Property Box to view them. I know I could just work my way through each individual to see who has Note Records linked to them and change it but that is a bit of a long process as I have some large files.

Is there anyway of getting the Note Records to actually show who they are linked to? I know the Property Window > Notes shows the number of links but I cannot see anyway of getting it to show who they are linked to, unlike in the case of Places where you can see this under Tools > Work with Data > Places > Records or Where Used.

Thanks

Nicola

When you click on a note record in the records window you can see where the note is used by clicking on the View menu and selecting Record Links. You can do the same thing for sources, media, repositories, etc. if you ever want to find where they are used.

If each Note Record is only linked to one Individual Record then the Clean Up Notes Plugin does it automatically.

Thanks Mike, I'll bare the Plugin in mind although at present as I'm trialling V6 so I can't run any plugins. :(
