| Title | Template when adding records |
| Category | Properties Dialog |
| Description | Closed
- merged in with WL~462 WL#351 Template when adding records (A nice feature for those of us who regularly batch up the entry of records, especially from a single source, would be a template facility. This would work a bit like the auto-source feature but would allow fields in an indiviudal's record to be filled with preset data. For instance if entering data for a whole family of people from a certain location, the residence place could be preset. Doing a census entry (when not using Nick's program) a census event could be preset. Knowing that everyone entered is dead could mean the entry of a death event with no date/place or a flag. Entering data from a cemetery would mean the burial place is the same for all records. Etc. Etc. The main reason I would like to see this feature is for record flags. If entering a group of individuals who all have the same feature (i.e. Americans get the Country - USA flag) it would be useful to have this added to the record as it's created rather than remembering to go back and add it later. I realise that flags can be added whilst adding records in the record window, but the awkardness of using the mouse, plus the "special" feature which re-arranges the flag menu depending on where you right-click slows down the process tremendously. Also, it's always the same flags so to cut down on possible errors and repetitive strain, having the flags (or any other repetitive data) created automatically would be very useful. I use the property dialog because I can just press TAB to switch between fields rather than using the mouse as required in the record window. Adding flags when entering records via the property dialog is not possible. I currently have to remember to sort the individuals just entered by record ID and set flags that way (if many records) or select a group of boxes on a diagram (if a small number). ) |
