* Custom reports

[Jim]

In my one-name study, I allocate each individual a unique 'generation grid reference' consisting of a letter and four digits.  When importing extracts from the study into FH I put this reference in the 'Custom ID' field.  I have been trying to create a 'Custom report' based on the 'Descendant outline' format, but with each name followed by my grid ref. instead of the life dates.  After much experimentation I have managed to do this for the person in the heading (the attached screen shot should show more clearly what I mean and how I did it), but I cannot see any way of formatting the other names in the list in the same way.  Am I missing something?  Is there any facility for creating a custom report, and if not would it be an item for the wish list?

Unfortunately you can't customise that information.

You might be able build something near it by using a query to select the records and then use a custom version of the individual summary, with out the paging turned off. You can include expressions on that report and therefore could use the customid field and possible a relationship to file root line.
