When you edit an exisiting even definition or create your own, you have the option of clicking or unclicking the fields you wish to have displayed. I use an event for cemetery locations which I call Burial. I suppress (unclick) the date and location since that information is already entered on the main personal screen. In my event "Burial" I put the cemetery location in the description field. It's the only entry I make unless I have something I want to include in the notes.
I do this because I don't like my events cluttered with locations that include cemetery names. I can still do a search for specific cemeteries by doing a detailed search where event name =/contains Burial and #2 condition is the cemetery name. I do the same sort of thing to keep hospitals, etc. out of my location list. I have events for 'born at" and "died at" and use those for things like hospitals, nursing home names, "at home", etc. Mary On Sun, Jul 14, 2013 at 8:19 PM, singhals <singh...@erols.com> wrote: > Mike Fry wrote: > > On 2013/07/14 20:03, Leonard Johnson wrote: > > > >> I'm wondering why this is called Event/Fact?
