Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting
I was fiddling with events in FGS and was dismayed to find that the events are always separated by horizontal lines. Well, I should say I was surprised to see that the horizontal lines are still there even if you select to use bullets or numbering... seems redundant. I was looking for a way to use less paper. --Paula From: Kathy Thompson To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Saturday, September 7, 2013 6:31 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting I'm not sure I made myself quite clear - but if the only way to rearrange the format of the data output is the sentence construction, I won't worry about it too much.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting
Good idea there Mary, the only problem with that for me is that I have (or will have) notes for almost every event, and I have my sentence definitions set up in specific ways to capture all 5 fields. There are times though - like when I'm doing specific research at a library - that I need a summary type report that has all of my info in the very basic format. Given that Event Name and Date are both standard widths, but description and place can vary greatly, and the list view with all the lines doesn't stay uniform in the spacings, I'd puke to be able to mice date to the left. If the column spacing of that list view remained constant and did a word wrap for longer lines rather than pushing the next column further away I'd have no problems because the dates would all line up with each other.

RE: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting
Kathy, You can get something like what you want by altering ONE event sentence for the event. The example I used was the Immigration Event and the entered information will read in the order you requested … Event Name - Date - Location - Description I altered one sentence definition for “if only date and place entered” …by removing the default fields and entering [EventName] - [Date] - [Place] - [Notes] [Sources] When the information is entered in the sequence you requested, it would read in your report as: Immigration - 1 Jan 1932 - New York - by ship The key here is to NOT fill in the Description field in the Event but to move the Description to the notes. If you thought it might be difficult to remember just how you set it up, you could even save this event to a new name such as Immigration Summary, leaving the default Immigration event intact in case you ever wanted to use it with full features. If you saved it to a new name, just turn off the Description Box, which would force you to remember to put your description in the notes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting
If you use the List Style formatting, you can't change the order, per Sherry. I have done something similar to what you are asking for using the Sentence Style formatting. It doesn't put things in columns, but I have fiddled with the sentence definitions to add spaces to approximate a column for the event name and have the date lined up with the location and description following in the same "column"..

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting
There's no way to change the order which the information for an event shows in the report. In a report, events are listed in the order they show on the individual's Events/Facts list on the Individual Information window. You can change sort by date or name under the Options button next to that list.
