Family Historian User Group

Hi

This question has been asked before but I can't replicate the accepted response in FH7.

I'm trying to create a compact "waterfall" style report of all the descendants of a person, similar to the Focus Descendants tab. The 'use case' is to create a one (or two) page document that can be sent to a non-genealogist, non-FH user to summarise an ancestors descendants...clearly and neatly.

The Descendants Outline Report in FH7 doesn't seem to have any of the connecting lines that were apparently available in earlier versions. Forum threads from 2015 suggest that you can tick a "Connecting Lines" checkbox but I can't see that option in V7. I've seen examples in this forum and on the Knowledge Base which look perfect, but they refer to older FH versions, Am I missing something in FH7...or has that functionality been deprecated?
Or is there a plug-in I need? (I did check the store but nothing stood out...)

Or do I have to do this outside of FH7 in other software or service? If so, any recommendations?

Thanks for any help

Welcome to the FHUG.

Please see Outline reports - Descendant outline (18400) that was updated yesterday with Calico Pie's response.

If it's any help, V7 does have a 'waterfall' style chart (available under Charts>Waterfall). You could create a text scheme to include as much information as you want. Unfortunately it's not as compact as the report because the offset from one generation to the next is greater, so if you are dealing with more than about four generations it's too wide for a single page width.

Thanks tatewise - I missed that thread. But the conversation is not very reassuring...
