I recently moved to a new laptop - installed FH on it and migrated the data from my old laptop.
On my old laptop I had the ability to display the full name of the Spouse (if applicable) against each row in a View / Individual Records list.
I am not seeing that on my new laptop - and have forgotten how to set this. Can you help please?
Thank you.

You need to use the how_to:family_historian_migration_guide|> Family Historian V5 & V6 Migration Guide to migrate all your customisations and preferences from PC to PC, because they are NOT stored with your Project data.

wanderdog,
Right click on a blank part of the individual records list. Then select "columns". Scroll to the bottom of the left hand column labelled "item". Select "other". Press the > button in the centre of the panel to open a small new window. Add a title eg spouse in the first empty row. Then use "insert data ref" button beside the second empty row. Scroll down the data references to the penultimate one "spouse" and press "ok". Then click "add" on the previous small window and the job is done. You can change the column order in the record window by using the up/down arrows in the "configure columns" window.

Peter is correct, and that will restore that one custom setting, but I suspect Wanderdog may have many others, and they all need migrating.

Thank you very much. That works - and I suspect was how I set this up in the first place some years ago.
Much appreciated.
