Census UK Property Box - addition request

Post by dbridge276 » 09 Apr 2019 22:07

@tatewise

I really do like this property box,
The reasons are due to the structure of each census Year (as opposed to CensusElectRole version) this makes it very easy to see which year one is missing for an individual.

However two things I would like to see to improve it further:

1) inclusion of the "age" of the individual - as it was stated on the enumeration form.
I use Ancestral sources to input the data, which includes the Age.
This addition would help users to see vary easily the range of age/years used across the census's - especially useful when one still hasn't tracked down an individuals birth record.

2) Move the Electoral role part be to its own tab.
My rational is that with the addition of 1939 Register and soon to be the 1921 Census, there is not much screen space left on a Laptop to see everything, mine has the electoral role completely off the bottom of the screen (when clicking on the "more" down arrows) and i see no way to scroll down to the electoral role section.
Also at the moment i only have a few Electoral role entries in my entire database, but i can see these growing and becoming quite extensive needing more screen space on there own.

There's no reason you shouldn't customise the tab your self and/or create additional tabs.

Yes, you can customise the tabs to suit yourself.
It is covered briefly in Getting the Most From Family Historian in Chapter 2. Editing Records with the Property Box under Customize the Property Box.
See the Property Box > Menu > Customize Data Entry option and checkout the Help.
