I'm pulling my hair out using LEgacy 7 sourcing. Not the concept, Not the need for, Not the different types of sources, but a little bit of what is does, e.g. if xxx goes into the Master Source List name, vs the TITLE, vs the Long Title, what will end up where on which reports.
I think I only need the original Basic Sourcing, not the Source Writer, but I have some source info in the source writer, and may have brought some source data from V 6, now using V7. Q Is there a chart, list, doc showing which source data fields, basic and Writer, end up in which parts of the endnote, subsequent end note, biblography etc paragraphs. Does Mill's book show what parts of the generic source info go into which specific Legacy Source data field. Does Legacy publish that? Does Legacy publish which parts of reported/listed/viewed Legacy output is from which Legacy Source input data fields? That is, how did they intend it to be used? I have a person, when I look at their Source icon via the Family view, and see the Assigned Sources For window with all the event rows with source master and detail columns, and I want to change something in the Detail column and select that row, then select Edit Detail, sometimes I get a simple window, under the Detail Information tab with a DETAIL box that has what shows on the previous Assigned Sources window, and I can change it. And sometimes I get many boxes to fill in, e.g. under the first tab ' Detail Info ' the boxes are Roll, page, col, line, id (which I think is the Source Writer) . At this screen,the only place I can find what is showing in the Assigned Sources For - detail column is in the Override tab of the Source Detail For xx screen where it is the last word in the Footnote/Endnote Citation box.. I can change that override info, but what shows on the Assigned Sources screen does not change. ??? Please point me to the educational material for how to use Legacy 7 Sources, and why to use which fields, relative to where they end up on which reports.
