Controlling unentered data/ To-Do List

Post by billbirchall » 14 Oct 2008 15:39

I have been unable to find anything on my problem, but it is so basic it must be there somewhere, so perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.

I have accumulated a mass of data, which needs to be ratified before entry, and I find that I am missing things because more data comes in on top of it. How do the experts deal with this? Is there a To-Do program somewhere which would allow you to record receipt of data, what needs to be done to it and a level of priority. It would be nice to have it as part of Family Historian.

Any views and advice will be appreciated.

Bill, try named lists, combined with flags.

Once you have reviewed the pages above come back if you still have questions.
