example queries for customising records tabs?

Post by torivar »

Hi all,
Still on the learning curve for FH. And I'm getting more and more impressed :)

Looking at (the very informative) youtube "Linking Media files to facts, events and individuals in Family Historian ft. Rootsmagic" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm4f824cXwI from https://www.youtube.com/@GenealogyReviews, he states that he's sharing some query-examples for customising the columns of the various tabs of the different records tabs window (individual, family, etc...) on a dropbox folder. However, this dropbox now seems to have disapeared. Does anyone of you know where to find this stuff (or similar)?

I've moved this to the General Usage forum as it has nothing to do with Plugin Technical Support & Development.

I don't know where the Dropbox stuff has gone but the following may help.

Customising the Records Window columns is not Query related but Expression related.
See FHUG Knowledge Base Understanding Expressions which has many examples and links to Data References and Functions which also have links to FH Help pages.

If you need help with composing specific custom column details then please ask.

Perhaps the question is not about creating queries but saving and loading custom layouts as queries.

Ah, yes. Maybe the Query examples are intended to be loaded via the Load from Query… button in a particular tab of the Lists > Configure Records Window Columns dialogue to customise some columns.

A quick check of Jackson’s video shows that is exactly what he’s referring to. He’s a regular contributor to these pages, so I’m sure he’ll be along shortly to clarify what has happened to the downloads.

Apologies for only catching this in the weekly digest mail.

Permissions in Dropbox appear to have changed and I may need to rethink how I share that link in the future, it's only an attempt to share some of what I demonstrated. Please try the link below and update this thread if there are any problems?
