Undo FH Property box Census UK

Post by RikkiR » 16 Apr 2022 18:15

Reading the forums I thought I would try the FH Property Box- Census UK tab for individuals NG Edit.fhpbt. To be on the safe side (I thought) I tried it on a test project I have. Quickly deciding that I didn't want it I moved back on to my main project and of course, the Census tab was in it as well. Not seeing anyway to undo the action I then closed FH down without saving but when I started FH back up, the tab is still there. I then went for a restore of my project from my last back up and the tab is still there. Two questions.
1. Is there a way to remove the tab ?
2. If not is there a way to move the tab along beside the all tab as it has inserted between the Main and Facts tabs on the property box.

Thanks

Click on the Tab you want to remove
Click on the Cog in the right-hand bar above
Click Customise Property Box
Make sure the Tab you want to delete is in the "Tab" drop-down - if not, select it
In the "More Tab Tasks" drop-down box, click "Delete Tab" ...

This should remove it for you.

What you have learnt is that most customisations affect all Projects and they are NOT saved in Project Backups.
To save such customisations you need to use the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings plugin.
That includes customised Diagrams, Reports, Queries, Plugins, Property Box tabs, Records Window columns, Fact Sets, etc, etc...

Adrian has explained how to delete a custom tab.

In the same dialogue, you can also Enable/Disable the tab and use the up/down arrows to reposition it.

Many Thanks to you both.

It worked a treat and yet something else learned :)
