Hello, I just started using shared events w/ v.8 build 385(unless it didn't download correctly, another question in a different email tho), and have these questions: (hope these make sense)
1. Is there a particular "order" to enter the family unit from a census, for example, Head of household; ID his/her role "first", or does that matter? Then, "enter" the children's names next(so they get a RIN), and then do "share" after I enter each, OR do a "share" as I add each one? Or?? Better way? I ask because. . . . Is it SUPPOSED to automatically "sync" (list the event under the other person's event) for each child as I add them, or ONLY to the head of household? The reason I ask is that there doesn't seem to be any consistency as if/how the "share" "takes" and syncs to the other person automatically, when I add share to another family member. I noticed that it "synced" sometimes with the head of household, but haven't done it consistently in the same order of adding names to know which times it works. But it never syncs to another family member when I add names other than head of household. I do notice it's easier to have the children's name added first otherwise they don't get the RIN. And, if it's NOT supposed to sync like this, how do people find is the easiest to enter the census data to avoid duplicate time typing(I'm not talking about sources, just entering the event info;) It sure saved the typing time when it automatically synced. Otherwise, I don't yet see the benefit of "shared" events? 2. Is it possible to click on 2-3 people from the master name list at the same time to add to a "share" with the head of household at a time, or just one? Seems to be just one, but maybe I'm missing something? I can live with it if that's the only way it works, just curious though if I'm doing something wrong? 3. Now this might be a glitch, but tonight when I went to an "individual" child's "share" pop up box, it would let me add the "father" as a share, but when it didn't sync, or show up on the father's event, when I tried to save, and go out and click on the father to add the child as a "share", it keeps bringing up the child's share screen and not the father's so I can't even complete the share on the father's end for that child. ?did I do something wrong here? I'm also having an issue with child's name "sticking"/showing on the family view until I click out of that screen into another's person screen, but that is a question for a different email. I just add it in case it's related to the problem above. I hope someone can make sense of my question? I can reword it if it's not understandable. . .thanks for any help, Pam Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
