bluedog 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 Is there a way to open up a person tag from the Master Place List? I went to the Master Place List to see about doing some place corrections more easily. So while I was there I noticed some oddball things that I had apparently done, but I can't see which people I had done them to. Even if it is not possible to open up that person from the Master Place List is there a way to see the ID # that goes with those tags? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virginia Blakelock 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 Click on the Events button in the Master Place List. There are buttons on that Master Event list to go to Principal 1 or Principal 2 in the event.

bluedog 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks. I did this and it worked. I did notice though that there were some that had no events. For example, there would be two places for "File 1." So I'd click the Events button for the top one and there would be nothing to see. Then I'd click the Events button for the 2nd "File 1" and there would be the details for that tag. I closed up the Master Place List and went to the person/event in question. Only one tag ("File 1") there for that person. I opened it up and it didn't look any different than other tags. So while I highly suspect that it was something I did that created the problem I'm not sure how to undo whatever it was that I did. Any ideas on how to correct it? The particular "File 1" example is a birth tag for a baby that was given up for adoption. So I thought that even if the two places showed up in the MPL, one for mom and one for baby, then there ought to be some details for both when clicking on the Events button. Right?

Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Run File / Maintenance / Optimize to compact your project. This cleans up any duplicate or unlinked places in the Master Place List. Then check the Master Place List again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Bob 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Hi, Jumping in here. I did that, and there are still places that are unlinked to people. I would sure like to get rid of them as I am trying to edit the places and reducing the numbers would be good. Best, Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 After running optimize, all remaining places are linked to event tags or to repositories. All of the places that you find no events for should be linked to repositories. You don't want 'to get rid' of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
