individual and family events merged report

kathjones · Post by **kathjones** » 21 Jun 2006 18:48

I would like to be able to produce a report that shows a timeline of events that affect an individual.

Currently individual and family events are listed seperately in the individual summary reports. However family events also effect the individual and it would be useful to produce a report of a merged list of individual and family events similar to the information that appears in the events tab.

It would be useful if this would include death of spouse and child within it so that for example you sould see how much time the was between death of one spouce and remarriage to another.

It would also be useful if in the individual summary report the notes to the events and addresses were listed with each event rather than as a seperate list below so that you don't have to keep cross referencing them.

let me know your thoughts

Kathryn - have you looked at narrative reports? These have most of the features you are after I believe.

Yes I've seen narrative reports but find them too 'wordy' I'd like a nice clear timeline of dates down one side and what happened at that time in a column beside that date. I like the way it appears in the events tab but there is no way to print this list at the moment - that is what i would really like -is it possible?

Oops sorry Kathryn - you're quite quite right it is. I got here by a shortcut and failed to notice which forum it is in.
