Custom ID field for Children Window.

Post by David Potter » 17 Oct 2016 18:28

Hi Forum

Is it possible to add the Individual Custom ID field into the Child window for each Child. This would make it easier when going through research material when Parents and Children's names are the same across Generations.

See screen shot attached.

Afraid not.
But a click on the blue triangular icon on right of Child will show their Property Box and thus their Custom Id.
Use the big white left arrow Go Back icon at top to return to the Parents' Property Box.

Alternatively, have you considered working with Diagrams, that are extremely dynamic.
They can show a whole family tree with summary details including Custom Id on everyone.
Double-click on any box opens their Property Box for fine details.
Dragging from a box can add parents, spouse, children.
Some users much prefer Diagrams as the primary working screen.
