Introducing the Focus Window

An introduction to the Focus Window, and how to print the detail it presents.

It is easy to switch the Focus Window to any Individual as the focus person. Just select an Individual record in the Records Window, a Named List, a Query Result Set, or a Diagram and click the magnifying glass Focus button  in the main toolbar (next to Home button). Also, with a Property Box open, use the magnifying glass Display in Focus Window button in its toolbar.

In ƒh 8 the Focus Window can be customised in Tools > Preferences > Focus Window: extra lines in the parent and grandparent boxes, an extra column of children, and birth and death places for children.
