Notes, Sources, and Media Indicators

Ancestral Quest uses shapes to let you know there are notes, sources and media added to an individual.

Let's say you add a note and/or a source of an individual in the "Edit Individual" screen. You begin by clicking on the Notes/Sources button:

Clicking on the "Notes/Sources" button opens up that section where one can type in notes or add a source. It was blank and we've now added a note on the baptism of Amable Brisson along with adding the baptism information. This action causes the "Triangle" to show up at the end of his name in either the Pedigree view or the Family View.

This shows the user, at a glance, there is additional information on this person.

Next, we will add a document; the 1861 Canadian Census image as follows:

Now we'll add this to the Scrapbook area in the "Edit Individual" section. If the time period was later we may have had a picture we could add but a census record is fine.

This changes the triangle to now have a "white box" inside of it.

These small indicators help the individual know whether they have any notes, sources or media for an ancestor at a glance.

Enjoy these and other features of Ancestral Quest!

The Little Things..

All programs have different ways to do things. Its usually the way the program was designed. To personalize and help make it more your program, adjustments can be made here and there throughout the program. Ancestral Quest has some of these little tweaks too.

Switching the placement of first and last names:

Some people like to have the Surname first and the First name last while others prefer to have it the opposite way. The choice is yours and it is fixed by clicking on an individual and opening up the Edit Individual Screen, then clicking on the arrows that are right between the names.

Using the arrow between spouses to interchange them:

With the click of the arrow, the individuals switch places. This is very convenient when wanting to work on a different line or to quickly change something. To fix this, one goes to Tools, Scroll down and click on Preferences:

Once there go to the bottom right and move the dot to Edits Individual:

Once you click OK, your arrow will be there!

What would you like to adjust in your AQ program? Maybe there is a way. Let us know by contacting us the best way for you, click here for contact information.
