Showing Witness events in Summary Reports

Post by mitcheip » 13 Feb 2015 11:45

I can see that Witness events appear in Narrative reports but I would like to see Witness Events in the persons timeline in Summary Reports.

I looked at the data reference Assistant to add the details to the Main Section of an Individual Summary Report but couldn't see any reference to Witnesses.

You have to expand the Events or Attributes and then expand a Fact and Witness> is listed there. But then you would need an Expression to select the current Individual from all the possible Witnesses. Not really feasible.

So I agree the Timeline Facts should be able to be included in a Summary Report.

This is related to V6 Two-way Witness Links (12283).

[EDIT 2016: FH V6 now offers this in ISR via Report Options > Main Section Items > Add > Insert Data Ref > Witnessed Event using the new %INDI.~SHAR% shortcut, so this request could be closed.]
