Hi. What I question is what happen when you do not have enough info about an individual? such as dates. You will see only his name and underneath letters. What happen if you do not have much info about several individuals? can you imagine how the chart will look? What i suggest is that you should have the option of letting the field working or not, that way on the case I said, it will be the name and then blanks, more appealing, don�t you think?
