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. So for this exercise for Henry say I have a birth record, marriage record, death notice, and a will. These would look like this: 1910-01-28 Brown,Henry (990) - birth cert 1932-07-13 Brown,Henry (990) - marriage cert 1950-03-25 Brown,Henry (990) - death cert 1950-03-02 Brown,Henry (990) - obit 1949-02-02 Brown,Henry (990) - will What I've been mulling around is something for Henry Brown (Legacy ID 990) that would include his INDIVIDUAL sheet, or FGS, with any documents associated with his ID #. Thus, what I'd like is a 'container/report' for Henry Brown (990) his INDIVIDUAL SHEET, (or FGS) with all 5 of these documents in it. The only solution I've come up so far would be to manually create a separate 'portfolio' for each individual in my database that would contain this information. I did take a look at CLOOZ and it looks like it might might have some promise. AND, the scrapbook option needs to be checked out further. Then again perhaps, my idea is a pie in the sky and fool hardy and unattainable one..... gc On Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 7:19 PM, Cathy Pinner <genea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Gary, > You can see from the responses that we're not sure what you want to do. > > If you want a list of all media linked in Legacy and who it's linked to, > then in Legacy go to View - Scrapbook choose your options and then click > Print Media File List and on that next screen make sure you at least check > "include description of what media is linked to" > > If you want a list of everything you've scanned, then you need a > program/utility that will print a directory.
