Importing from Family Tree & Ancestry

You need a way to mark anybody you import, perhaps the end-user selecting a color code that automatically applies to the imported person, identifying the person as unverified. Let the end-user import all the sources, marking them as unverified also. Then let the end-user undo the tags as the person and information get verified.

This is something the user can already do. RINs increase as people are added. After you are done importing color code or make a group out of everyone with a higher RIN than you started.

Or you could color code everyone in your database and then the people you add would have NO color and you would know who they were. Of course that would be silly to do :wink:

In the People List view, add ā€œDate Editedā€ to show the most recently added people (assuming you want to work on them immediately - if you add people a week ago and have worked on others since, you will have to know the date they were added)

Not so as an intermediate step to creating a named group or setting the newly added ones to a different colour in the same colorcode set or in another set.

Youā€™ve got workable answers re the newly added people but not for Citations. I donā€™t think there is a good answer for that. There might be if RM supported the Citation Quality data in Search, Marking, Reports and at a more granular level than just by person. Sounds like a genuine enhancement request.

Agree. My current workaround has 2 steps:

  1. is to prefix every source name with an identifier so that I can quickly tell whether the source has been reviewed/edited.
  2. I use the default ancestry treeshare media file as a ā€˜temp landing zoneā€™. Once I review and rename the media file I move it to a different folder. In that way any files in the default ā€œ<tree name>_mediaā€ folder are items that have downloaded via treeshare but have not been processed yet.
