You can access the Potential Problems Options in several different ways. 1) Shift plus right click on a PP alert.
2) Tools Ribbon - in the Family Files Tool section on the left - Potential Problems 3) Reports Ribbon - Other Reports - Potential Problems. They'll all take you to the same place in order to choose the issues you want to be globally alerted to. To see whether an individual has been excluded from a particular potential problem. See their Individual edit screen. Exclude from Potential Problems button. If they have any exclusions this button with have an asterisk on it. Click it and you'll find a check mark in the category they've been excluded from. You can also have a symbol shown on Family View next to someone's name if they've been excluded from a Potential Problem. Options - Customise 3.12 To turn on or off the PP alerts - Options - Customise 8.11 I wonder where the help file is wrong? You seem to have got into a section talking about the way PPs can be identified when you're working with FamilySearch. Cathy At 05:00 AM 23/04/2014, you wrote: >It was one of my twins.
