Any ideas for syncing files?

If you are having difficulty using iFamily for Leopard.
eg: "How do I change someone's sex after they are married?

Any ideas for syncing files?

Post by clive boyce » Sun Sep 27, 2009 12:57 pm

I often work with others on researching the same family. Any suggestions for keeping files in sync? I would like to follow additions/changes. Is there a way that one party can add new data in another colour that can subsequently turned back to the original colour?

Hi Clive,

You could add a note into the Comments field that this information has been added/ changed on a certain date by user xxx.

You can then find those entries with a &#39People ... Comments... &#39 menu selection setting the option to Comments not null.

Not the easiest of ways and it does assume you are using the same database and iFamily - but I sort of assumed that from your question.

There is also some possibility of the last updated field but I am not too sure of the current position on this - I think Warwick was working on it - and this could include an option to highlight in a new colour any entires after a selectable date (new feature suggestion?).

Hope it helps,

Nigel
