Journal Report seems to be broken

Recommended Posts

I frequently run a Descendants Journal Report. Before running it, I go through and check to make sure that the options "stuck" since last report, but I rarely change anything other than the number of generations to be included. I recently installed v6.09 update. When I ran the Descendants Journal Report, I am getting inapproriate output. Basically, a number of Tags are not being included. To check that it was not person specific, I ran an Individual Narrative, which worked fine. Is anyone else experiencing problems with the Journal Report in 6.09? I tried calling WG, but the office was closed, and I need to get this report out. HELP!

 

I seem to have the birth tags missing on a particular line.

 

This is really bad. Not only is it ignoring birth tags, it is routinely indicating that a spouse was "unknown person" when in fact the spouse is extrmely well known. I will delete the report and then make a new one, but I don't think this is going to help. Next week, I am doing a side by side demo of TMG with FTM and I need to get this fixed.

 

Well, I was wrong, Virginia had spotted the problem. I had "Include blank surety" checked, but I had not checked anything for threshold. When I checked "No Threshold" everything worked fine again. Not sure how it got unchecked, but selecting a Threshold apparently is a critical option. Thanks, Virginia!

The most common cause of missing tags is the surety level. Check Surety on the General tab. Make sure that both 'No Threshold' and 'Include blank surety' are ticked.

 

If that is not the problem, reset the report configuration using the Delete button under the configuration name on the report definition screen.

That was not the problem. I have tried running the report with selected tags, checking all, no fix. The report as configured works with several lines, but not this one. I have alternate names, will try running the report on another person with an alternate name, see if that works.
