Nickname etc

Post by tonyt » 13 Nov 2009 07:34

I'm either going mad (most likely!) or v4 seems to be missing some fields

There used to be a tab on the individual record window that had things like baptism etc, i can see how to add these to the general tab (or a new tab) thru customise but for the life of me I can't find the nickname field (not 100% sure it was called that) or anything like it, and perhaps there are others I haven't thought of as yet as well

Was wondering if some kind soul could put me out of my misery (not literally) and point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks
Tony

If you really want the detail tab back, go to the customise options for the Tabs and hit the V3 compatibility button to put back the Detail tab, personally I use the Facts tab most of the time when adding facts any way.

Hi,

I almost missed it myself but if you look to the right of the name field, you will see a blue 'more' which is a link.  Click on that and it will give you name prefix, name suffix, nickname and 'given name used' options.

The other items can go in 'facts' where you can select a number of items such as baptism, etc.

Hope this is of some help.

Funnily enough i went in there, but obviously on someone who had no nickname, and didn't put two and two together

Thanks
Tony
