Kathy means that it would be nice to run (say) and Individual Report with source citations at the end that INCLUDE what she entered on the analyze source quality screen. I whole-heartedly agree with her! I would like to be able to look at all the evidence and determine if I have enough to have proven a fact.
Why put the information into the database if you can never get it back out again? --Paula ________________________________ From: Ron Bernier <ronaldbern...@bernfrin.net> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2013 6:48 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Analyse Source Quality Kathy, The analysis is optional because it is intended for you to be able to determine the level of confidence you have in the source you are citing. I fail to understand what feedback you expect. Why would you expect your own analysis to show up in a printout? Again, the analysis of the source you are citing is for your use.
