Re: [LegacyUG] Search list question
The real advantage of a focus group is that it does not contain records but instead is the criteria used to identify records in the database. Therefore it is dynamic. If the focus group criteria is for direct line ancestors and you subsequently add more of them to your database, then executing a focus group search will pick up all of them including the new ones you have added. The focus group can contain lots of different criteria depending on how you build it. And the best part is that you can save and re-load focus groups. You might have one focus group for work with Aunt Margaret and another one for the family newsletter, etc. Jenny's instructions will work great for your request.Ron Taylor --- On Sun, 2/10/13, Paula Ryburn wrote: From: Paula Ryburn Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Search list question To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Date: Sunday, February 10, 2013, 5:10 PM Aha!

Re: [LegacyUG] Search List Question
I'm not sure what you mean by the "individual Search List"? Take a look at the options on the "What to Include" tab in the To-Do List report You can get just one line, but it will be only the Description, without other information. If you include the Description and Individual's Name, you have two lines per item. You'll just have to play around with the options to see if you can get the report to look the way you want. Also this report can be saved to CSV, which puts everything on one line if you open it in a spreadsheet program. This will give you an easy way to check off items as you do them - add a check column, delete the row, format the row with strike-through Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 11:03 AM, Alan Pereira wrote: > Sherry, I am one of those who use tags extensively but not todo.

[LegacyUG] Search List Question
Thanks again to all for their comments. On Sat, 07 Apr 2012 08:12:01 -0700 Jenny M Benson wrote > Did you read (and try) the method I offered? I cannot see how it does > not do exactly what you want. Yes, Jenny, at least here's what I did. 1. My existing search list is actually Tag1=tagged AND tag3=tagged (Tag1 is people likely to be alive in 1911, in the UK, without a 1911 source and Tag3 is all blood relatives and their spouses). 2. I created a new search list Tag6=tagged and navigated to the middle of that, double-clicked a random person. Did a find Next (either F3 or search menu>find next) a few times and it restarted from the start of the list. 3. I then recreated my first list (Tag1=tagged AND tag3=tagged), navigated to the lady I'm looking for, double-clicked her and she appeared in the pedigree view. 4. I did a find next and the second person on the list appeared. I may have done something wrong, but I believe that this is analogous to what you suggested. It is certainly what I want to do. On Sat, 07 Apr 2012 00:53:44 -0700 Mike Fry wrote > So! What's wrong with using two tags as I have previously suggested? Firstly, I don't have any spare tags. In the reply to Jenny above, I said that I'm using Tag1=tagged AND tag3=tagged. It would make life easier if I could combine those into Tag10=tagged, but I don't have a tag10. That's also the reason why I can't simply use the tag arrows. Secondly, it relies on me doing something extra and I'm highly likely to forget to do it in the haste of getting to the next person. I have frequently forgotten to untag tag1 when I find that a person died before 1911. That doesn't matter too much as I can always set Tag1=untagged for all people with a death date before 1911 prior to my next pass. Thirdly, it would fine when i start my next exercise, but I already have a couple of hundred people in the processed but not found part of the list so it's a bit late to start for this run. Yes, your way would work. However, it would be prone to human error and it would be far simpler if the search list pointer did what it was supposed to do. I started this thread simply to find out if the behaviour I was experiencing was a bug, a feature or something wrong with my setup. I've reported it as a bug and, hopefully, it will be fixed sometime.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search List Question
Tony, OK, this is what I am seeing: Depending on how you have the cursor set on the sort order, ie RIN, First Name, or Surname the F3, Shift-F3 works as it should next or previous person in the search list as sorted, if the current person is in the list he/she will be highlighted when the list is open and double clicking a person takes you to that person. However, on the family view screen the "Indi. Tag #" arrow keys goes to the Next Individual Tagged starting from the beginning of the list. Clicking on the arrow keys goes through each of them in RIN order, however if you go down the list and get to some point, pressing F3 or Shift-F3 will pick the next person on the Search List from where you were before you started clicking on the Arrow keys on the family view screen. So it appears that these two ways of searching the list are independent of each other Indi Tag # goes each one tagged by RIN and the F3 by the sort order and remembers where it was in the list. My suggestion would be to use bookmarks along with the F3 Shift-F3 and not use the Family View Individual Tag scroll buttons. Also, you could shorten the list by regions instead of everyone. Regardless, by using the bookmarks you could bookmark someone in the list, then work on that person, untag him or tag him with a finish tag, etc., then use F3 or Shift-F3 to go to the next person or previous person in the list as sorted. Russ -Original Message- From: Tony Rolfe Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 8:50 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Search List Question Thanks to all for trying to help with my problem. To recreate my problem, try the following: 1. Create a search list (use the one you are currently using if you don't mind getting out of synch). Make a note of the current person if you are using an existing one, or note the second person on the list if a new one. 2. Open the search list and navigate to someone far away from the current (or first) person. 3. Note this person's name and then Double-click them. 4. Do a find next. If you have my bug, you will get either the second person in the list or the person following the one who was your previous current one. If you don't have my bug, you will get the person following the one you double-clicked. I believe that double-clicking from the search list should reset the pointer but, in my setup, it doesn't. My current search list is over 1000 people and will take me several months to complete. I don't want to have to stop all other work requiring search lists while I'm doing it. I have everyone tagged on tag 1. I can recreate the search list any time I want simply by untagging everyone with a 1911 census source and searching tag1=tagged. However, I want to keep all the "processed but not found" people in the list because I'm doing a quick first-pass through the list and if someone doesn't leap out at me I'm skipping onto the next. That way I'll get to look at everyone in a reasonable time frame and be able to go back to the beginning for a longer in-depth look at those who were skipped the first time. So, when I recreate the search list, I want to be able to get to the last one checked easily and have "find next" work from that person, but the only way I can currently do it is by repeated "find next" until I get there. I know I can do it with using a second tag for those I've checked and want to keep, but that relies on me remembering to do it each time and I won't. I've reported the problem as a bug. Hopefully it will be accepted and fixed. I can't see it being a huge coding exercise. Thanks again for all the advice. I've learned a lot even though some of it isn't solving the main issue.

Did you read (and try) the method I offered? I cannot see how it does not do exactly what you want. I have just created a Search List on Tag 1. Worked through the first few people by using the "next" Indi Tag 1 arrow. I then created a different Search and looked at someone (who would also have been low down on the Tag 1 list. Then I created a different Search list (completely different set of people to the last 2 searches) and opened one or two people from that list. Then I again created a Tag 1 search list, used the "next" Indi Tag 1 and was taken to the next person in the list *after that previously last worked on*. In other words, I created a search list, let's say it was people with RINS 1 - 20. I worked on person RIN 1. "Next" Indi Tag 1 arrow took me to RIN 2. I continued thus up to and including RIN 5. I then did other searches, worked on other people. I recreated my search list and using the "next" Indi Tag 1 arrow took me to RIN 6. Is that not exactly what you are trying to achieve? Because I am using Tag 1 for another purpose I did not delete the Tag from anyone, but I could well have done so, leaving a second Tag intact and thus been able later on to create a search list on the 2nd tag for all those who I could not "deal with" first time round. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

[LegacyUG] Search List Question
Thanks to all for trying to help with my problem. To recreate my problem, try the following: 1. Create a search list (use the one you are currently using if you don't mind getting out of synch). Make a note of the current person if you are using an existing one, or note the second person on the list if a new one. 2. Open the search list and navigate to someone far away from the current (or first) person. 3. Note this person's name and then Double-click them. 4. Do a find next. If you have my bug, you will get either the second person in the list or the person following the one who was your previous current one. If you don't have my bug, you will get the person following the one you double-clicked. I believe that double-clicking from the search list should reset the pointer but, in my setup, it doesn't. My current search list is over 1000 people and will take me several months to complete. I don't want to have to stop all other work requiring search lists while I'm doing it. I have everyone tagged on tag 1. I can recreate the search list any time I want simply by untagging everyone with a 1911 census source and searching tag1=tagged. However, I want to keep all the "processed but not found" people in the list because I'm doing a quick first-pass through the list and if someone doesn't leap out at me I'm skipping onto the next. That way I'll get to look at everyone in a reasonable time frame and be able to go back to the beginning for a longer in-depth look at those who were skipped the first time. So, when I recreate the search list, I want to be able to get to the last one checked easily and have "find next" work from that person, but the only way I can currently do it is by repeated "find next" until I get there. I know I can do it with using a second tag for those I've checked and want to keep, but that relies on me remembering to do it each time and I won't. I've reported the problem as a bug. Hopefully it will be accepted and fixed. I can't see it being a huge coding exercise. Thanks again for all the advice. I've learned a lot even though some of it isn't solving the main issue.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search List Question
OH! I see what you're saying. However, I don't remember having that problem. I've used tagged lists a LOT -- cleaning up source citations, to name just one large task. As I finished a person, I would untag them and go to the next tagged person. I typically would tag a small enough group to finish fixing them in one sitting, but... If it was a larger group and I had to "come back" to it, I would just click "next" on that tag and get to work. So, maybe I DON'T see what you're saying / don't understand the task you are trying to complete. Admittedly, I do not remember every using "Find Next" or "Find Previous"---once I have the people of interest tagged, I don't use the Search anymore---so I will refrain from further commenting. ;) --Paula From: Tony Rolfe To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thu, April 5, 2012 9:33:47 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Search List Question Paula and Russ Thanks for contributing.

I routinely create search lists for all people with research notes. I then tag everyone in the search list with tag 1 and create a search list for tag 1. (The reason for the second list is to allow me to create other searches and still recreate my "Research List" by searching on tag 1 again). If I edit the first one in the list, then go to someone else (even one who is not on the list) all I do is hit F3 (shortcut for "find next" and it takes me right to that person.

It seems to me that it is quite possible to do what you ask. Create your source list, tag it and sort it by RIN. Go to first person and process. Remove the selected tag from that person. Using the Indi Tag field at bottom of screen select the appropriate tag and use the "next" arrow. Process the next person. Etc. If you tackle a few people on your search list and then process a few people who *do not* have that tag set, using the Indi Tag Next arrow again will take you to the next RIN on your Search list. I had thought that if you processed a few people on your search list, say the first 10, then jumped to someone near the bottom of the list, say the 34th person, to process them in some other way (you would not remove the tag) that trying to move to the next tagged person would take you to the 35th person on your list, but this does not seem to be so. I have tested this method with a few different ways of diverting from the search list and it *seems* to work just as you want, so give it a try and let us know. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

RE: [LegacyUG] Search List Question
The way I get around this problem is to use 2 tags. Tag everyone in the search list with one tag. As you search through the list tag each person searched with the second tag. Change the search criteria to tag 1 tagged and tag 2 untagged. Every now and then run a new search with the new tagging criteria to shorten the list to those people you have yet to process. If you want at any time to refresh the original list, revert to the original search criteria and generate a new list, tagging them with the first tag. Switch to tag 1 tagged and tag 2 untagged as criteria and you will be back to your revised list with the first person being someone you have yet to do. Alan Pereira -Original Message- From: Tony Rolfe [mailto:geneal...@gillandtony.com] Sent: 06 April 2012 00:58 To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Search List Question Mike I'm probably not explaining my situation clearly. I realise that when I rebuild a search list I lose the context of the previous version of the list. It is as if it were a completely new list (in fact, it is a new list). My problem is that I don't want to do the usual thing with a new search list and start at the beginning. I want to start somewhere in the middle. I want some way to say "Start with this person and then go forward or backwards from here". The only way I can achieve this is to start at the front and "find next" a couple of hundred times.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search List Question
When I am working off of a long search list...I "print" it to a "phantom" printer and then open it in a PDF program... To keep it simple, I always include the RIN numbers which makes it easy to pull up the names. As I work my list, I cross thru the finished ones.

RE: [LegacyUG] Search List Question
I have mentioned this on the list before. The suggestion I was given, (and I do do this now), is to work off of the search list. Tag the people and then search for the tag. Edit the people right from the search list. That way you can go down the list in order.

You can go to a person in the middle of the list and then Set a bookmark, then when you create the new list click options>go to bookmark and the bookmark window will open and you can choose your person from the bookmark list then when you go through the tags from there it will find the next tagged person in RIN order.

By rebuilding, you lose the record of everything you've done with your list previously. A facility to Save and Restore a list will not solve your confusion, because the act(s) are incompatible with rebuilding. I forget, are you using the Census Report to build your list? If so you can save and restore the search criteria but not the results. As others have said, create your list and tag everyone on it. Then, as you work through the list, untag those who you ascribe a 1911 citation to. You can of course tag them twice: once for no-1911 and once for not-found. First run through, tag everyone without a 1911 census. Now, process the list. Remove the no-1911 tag if you find a source. If not, tag them again as not-found. Next run through, ONLY SEARCH THE EXISTING SEARCH LIST and exclude those with a not-found tag. If you lose the list, then rebuild it from those with a no-1911 tag - you'll get both those you've already processed and those you haven't. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

[LegacyUG] Search List Question
Thanks to all for the advice so far. When I am going through my 1911 possibles, some are found and some are not. Those who are found get a 1911 Census source citation. When I rebuild the search list, I untag those who have a 1911 Census citation and then search for all tagged. This new list includes everyone I have not yet checked, plus everyone who was checked and not found. I want to restart at the person who would originally have been next in line, so I open the search list and navigate to the right person, double-click them and they appear. When I have done with them, I hit F3 (find next) and the second person on the list appears, instead of the person next to the one I've just processed. If this is a bug, it should be fixed. If it is by design, we need some way of telling Legacy to set this person as the current in the list. It would also be nice to have a "Save/Restore Search List" facility. This would just need to be a comma-separated list of RIN's or MRIN's with an "*" to show the current position. If I can't do what I need, I'll put in a suggestion but I don't want to waste Support's time if I'm missing something.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search List Question
Tony, As I am sure you realise, your problem is that you abandoned the first search in order to create a second. Should it not be possible for you to untag the individuals already visited, as suggested by Chuck, then it is not possible to do as you wish. However, what I am less clear about is why you cannot just make a note of the name you are up to when you leave it to do the second search, and on return to this tagged list just go down to this name and start from there?

Tony, see if this will work for you. If I understand correctly what you are wanting to do. 1. Create your Census List. 2. Tag those in the list just created, for instance, Tag #3 3. Use the "Find First" button in the Search Window. The Primary Condition would be: Individual, Tag #3, Equal to, Tagged. Also, make sure the "Clear List before search" option is checked 4. Fix that person and then clear the tag #3 on that person 5.
