* AS not including date of entry information

[dbridge276]

I have started using AS more recently.

However I am finding that the inclusion of the source date & source are not being created.

This has left me with many entries that I now have to find & manually add the source date and source accuracy (primary, secondary etc).

Am I missing something with regards to how I am using AS?

do I first need to set Auto Citation to on within FH6.2 To ensure the date etc are added?

Any tips and links to relevant help tips would be greatly appreciated.

Also is there a FH query available that will identify sources without a date/accuracy entry?

See tutorials in ancestralsources:index|> Ancestral Sources especially ancestralsources:ancestral_sources_tutorial_entering_census_facts|> Ancestral Sources Tutorial ~ Enter Census Facts.

Do NOT turn on FH Automatic Source Citations.

Check the AS Tools > Options > Census settings under Sources in the centre.
By default Citation Certainty and Use Citation Entry Date are both disabled.
They need to be ticked and your preferred option chosen.

BTW: I wonder if you have migrated to a new PC and forgot to migrate your custom AS settings?

You could use the Where Used Record Links Plugin on any chosen set of Census Source records.
Then in the Result Set click on the Entry Date or Assessment column header to sort into order, which brings all the blank entries together.
