Adding New Places

Recommended Posts

Would like to add places to the Master Source List via some kind of "Add" function like that available when you bring up the Master Tag Type, Source, Repository and Style Lists. This just lets me take a list of places, input them first and then select their assignment later in tags. Is there a way to do this now?

 

Thanks, Joe

This is a feature that I asked for a _long_ while ago - sometime in v3.x. I was involved in a study of where I would have liked to have already input the gazateer of a small region so that other persons entering data did not have to add new unfamiliar place names (and possibly transcribe them incorrectly).

 

However, there is a workaround.

 

Add a pseudo-person "_PLACES" as the first step.

Create a custom tag "Place_Holder" in the Other tag group.

Then add each place as the place of a "Place_Holder" tag of the "_PLACES" person.

 

This will make each place appear in the master Place List and be available for selection. The place cannot be deleted until the "Place_Holder" tag is has been deleted. Copying this "_PLACES" person to a new project will move all these places to that new project.
