Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report
Jay, That DOES sound nice. I had been hearing that there were going to be upgrades to the To-Do functionality with v8 (or maybe it was Research Guidance? or both?). Anyway, I totally agree that it is very clunky to use To-Do items as they are now. On the other hand, they do provide you with a paper trail, place to record negative findings, avoid duplication of effort. I just need to be more disciplined in using them. If I were doing what you are (looking through one source or county clerk's office), I would go the Search CSV route to generate my task list for the on-site visit. That's just too much To-Do data entry. --Paula From: Jay 1FamilyTree 1familytree@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2013 12:24 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report Paula, My ultimate wish list for a to-do task At the FIELD entry, right click to select a add to-do (say for a date of birth) From the selectors, choose category, place, est date, and where to research, In my example since it was a field for date of birth, Legacy would automatically select the category birth records, I would then select where I am doing my research, say Cook County Ill Vitals Office, then the date range (abt 1900) then what I am looking in (like Birth Registers 1890-1900 or a FHC Film Number) Then I can print a report in cat seq, in year seq to maximize my time.

Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report
Jay, If you have a to-do item for each thing you want to find, and have specified the repository as the vital records office you plan to visit, then print the report of to-do items for just that repository, sorted by category first (BMD), then ...well, you would need to enter the year in the task name and then sort on that third. (or if you really don't care when you technically opened a to-do item, you could enter the date in question there...? tho I haven't tested entering a date in the past) If all your individuals in question are in your Legacy database, I'm not sure why you would consider getting another genealogy program just to produce a to-do list? Alternately, if you don't want to use to-do lists at all, but just want a list of who to look for, you could try Search. It would take two passes. Example is whole state of Massachusetts. INDIVIDUALS Search Find Individual Birth Place contains Massachusetts OR Individual Death Place contains Massachusetts Click Print - select what data you want (up to 3 rows) and print or generate CSV so you can sort it by date.

Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report
Michele, Thanks for some marvelous tips on how to use the To-Do lists!!! I am looking forward to v8, where they have fixed it so the filter and sort settings don't reset every time. --Paula From: Michele Lewis ancestor...@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 11:27 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report Tis so true. You can play around with how you enter things and how you handle the filters and the to-do will do pretty much do anything you want it to. Ever since I started using the to-do list for all of my tasks I am much more organized. For example, if I am going back to do research on someone that I haven't worked with in a while and I see that I am missing a marriage date/place, I can filter my to-dos by the category Marriage Record. I leave it at All Localities and I check both open and closed. I also check all of the type boxes, both tagged boxed and all of the priority boxed. I will then be able to see everything that I have done to try and find the marriage record. I can see all of my negative searches and things that I planned to do and haven't yet. This keeps me from duplicating my efforts. The last tab, sort order, is another way to sort your tasks so that they show up in your list of tasks in a way that will make more sense to you. I can accomplish the same sort of thing as I did above by setting my primary sort field to Category. Now all my marriage tasks will be together, my census tasks will be together etc. I rarely put the open date in the primary sort field because then it is too easy for me to see the tasks that I have been procrastinating on :) :) :) One thing I would like to add. I use the tagging option within the to-do list. If something is untagged it means that I plan to search it but I haven't started on the task yet. If I tag it, that means I am working on it. For example, if I want to request a COD from Mississippi I will leave it untagged. If I have actually sent a letter to the MS Vital Office then I will tag it. I will run the filter to show me everything that is tagged and I can see what all I am still waiting on. I can then decide if I need to send a second request. I do this for all correspondence type stuff. I can also run by untagged which will quickly show me what all I still need to do. This gives you a way to further breakdown your open category of tasks. Is it open because I haven't done it yet or is it open because I have done it but I am still waiting on some sort of response.

Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report
Excellent comments Michele. And really think about spending the time to fill in all the necessary information. I can easily click on Minnesota Archives and have my to do list in date order for death certificates and simply run through those when I visit (or give them to a family member who lives in area to work on). The to-do list then is your research log as you keep everything and simply click on closed when you are finished. A very robust feature (like so many others) if you take the time to learn it. Perhaps this needs to be a Tuesday's Tip in the Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community. If you are on this Forum and use Google+ you might want to check that community - a helpful virtual users' group.

Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report
I get that too, but I see it as helpful as it means that name, dates, etc are together at the top and I then have the task, and if I set my printing to one task per page, I have lots of room to make notes, and as such, I can separate out my task description in pseudo headings - especially if I need to find more than one thing from a single source location - ie find census for Joe, determine if birth county is listed, any other children listed, etc On 13 September 2013 07:20, Jay 1FamilyTree 1familytree@gmail.comwrote: I am having a problem with a print for a standard to-do report The results seem somewhat out of order (within the task) What I get are the first few lines are the persons details, then what I would have expected to be the header bar for this one task then the date line then the category line LIke; Individual: Christ Joseph Arnoldussen [108319] Birth: Abt May 1899, Freedom, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA Death: Mar 28, 1907, Freedom, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA Parents: John Arnoldussen [33391] and Katherine (Kate) Lappen [108322] *Date Research Task* Jan 12, 2013 1900 census lists birth as May 1899, died 3/28/1907 Category: Birth Record Locality: Outagamie County What I would have expected was *Date Research Task* Jan 12, 2013 1900 census lists birth as May 1899, died 3/28/1907 Category: Birth Record Locality: Outagamie County Individual: Christ Joseph Arnoldussen [108319] Birth: Abt May 1899, Freedom, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA Death: Mar 28, 1907, Freedom, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA Parents: John Arnoldussen [33391] and Katherine (Kate) Lappen [108322] Is there a setting somewhere I have missed?

[LegacyUG] To Do Report problem
When I try to do a To Do Report all I get is a blank on the preview. I remember there is some small thing to check or uncheck, but, for the life of me, I cannot fine it. I am trying to get a report of a particular locality. Can anyone explain where I am going wrong here?

Re: [LegacyUG] To Do Report problem
I was having that very problem this morning! I reset the options (click on the Reset button in the lower right corner of the main options window) and also deleted the ToDoRpt.usr file, but neither one of those steps fixed the probelm. What I ended up doing (and I know you can't do this) is copying my usr file from the beta to the release version. I'll send you a copy of it by email off-list and it worked fine.

I seem to be in the Twilight Zone here. When trying to do a To Do Report, making my report selections, then clicking preview, I get blank pages. I know I have printed of To Do report before.

Re: [LegacyUG] To Do report
Be sure to check the tabs, especially Record Selection and Filter Options. I have a blank page appear frequently because I forget to change the locality under Filter Options. --- On Mon, 3/15/10, Jane Sarles sarlesinsi...@gmail.com wrote: I seem to be in the Twilight Zone here.
