I include my file number in the description for each of my media files in Legacy. When I print a report, i will have to look up which one, I get bullet points of events with a thumbnail of the image and the file number as a caption.
I use Evernote and tag each document with the people it connects too. I find it a faster way to find all the documents and files related to an individual. It also serves as off site backup and I have access to it from any device. I can save files for off line viewing. > On Feb 22, 2018, at 5:58 PM, Gary Crull <treeclimber1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > To all who've replied.... > > The documents I refer to consist of any format you can think of: WORD, JPG, > PDF, TIF. > > I store all my documents in the format yyyy-mm-dd (if known) > Surname,Given,ID#, type document.
