Sources in Group Sheet Report

Post by philjo » 18 Dec 2003 13:19

On a family group sheet report I have just printed, it numbers the source attached to each event, and then lists the sources at the end of the report, which is good.

In this case, the family had 12 children, and 95% of the events were taken from the same source - the Parish Register for thtat village.

However, each source citation is numbered differently for each event, so I have ended up with a whole sheet of A4 with sources numbered 1 to 25, all but 2 of them being for the same source & citing the samre parish Register.

Is it possible to set an option in FH to use a common number where the same source is used more then once, and only list the sources once at the end of the report?

Source number 1 (or whatever) would then apply to most of the events and would not only loook much better, it would save paper when printing.

This is already on the wish list in

12 More and better formatting options for source info in reports
16 Support a 'Sources Only' listing.

Please feel free to vote for them.

You can turn the source listings off, but currently that is the best FH can offer.
