In RM8, is it possible to get a report of all the identities that have a yellow webhint associated with them? My tree is becoming quite extensive, so having a collation of the webhints would be useful. Alternatively having a configurable column in the People \> Index page with webhints icons would be useful. Or am I missing a feature?

If your RM8 tree is linked to Ancestry, the website will show hints in total and by various categories which may address your need.

The basic answer to your question is no. The reason is that RM itself doesn’t keep any records of WebHints. They are generated “just in time” and only for individuals on the screen in Pedigree View of Family View. RM itself queries the servers for hints (ancestry, familysearch, etc.) and presents the results of the query to you as WebHints.
