Recording special ocassions

Post by DBAMorse » 12 Jan 2011 14:32

Greetings all,
I've been given a few items to keep of interest to our family.  These include newspaper cuttings.  These I have set up as a custom event for called, wait for it, 'Newspaper inclusion'.  So far fine.  But I now have a telegram I want to include (diamond anniversary, Queen's good wishes, that sort of thing).  Any suggestions?  Another custom event maybe (anniversaries)?  All ideas welcome

I think I would go with another custom attribute, perhaps called 'Special Event', that way you can include the event type in the value field, which means you would see it on the Fact Tab. You could then customise the sentence or add a note as required.
