Re: [LegacyUG] How to configure Family View ?

For the number of children displayed,
 I use Custom, Option 8, 8.5 Child Columns on View, Best Fit Columns
This allows a 12 children family to be displayed in 3 columns.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to configure Family View ?

2023-10-22 Thread Cathy Pinner 

Ian,
I also use Best Fit columns. If I want to see a grid with the children, 
I switch to Descendant View and limit the number of generations showing.
You can change the View for the Child list as Margaret says or just 
right click on the Child area of Family View and use View from the Right 
Click menu. So you could move back and forth from the Child Grid if you 
prefer it. I assume you know you can customise the columns for the Child 
Grid, Descendant View and Index View and save several different sets and 
switch between them easily.
