Record Tagging
Record tagging is a means of marking records so that you can then apply a given operation to all tagged records in a single step.
E.g. (1) You might want to browse the animal records looking for particular records for which you want to print pedigrees. Instead of selecting and then printing each one individually, a quicker way is to tag them first and then print pedigrees for all tagged records in a single step.
E.g. (2) You might want to delete all accounting records from the database that are associated with a given contact. You could do this by first displaying the relevant contact record, then select the option to tag all the accounting records concerning that contact. You could then switch to accounting records and delete all tagged records in a single step.
Tagged records are displayed in a different color in the record list. Typically they are displayed in light blue, but you can change that.
The following operations can be applied to groups of tagged records:
Deleting records
Printing reports
Printing documents such as pedigrees
Exporting to CSV
Publishing as a web database
BA also has some special features for tagging ancestors and descendants. E.g. you can:
Tag all descendants of a given animal
Tag all descendants that share 2 or more ancestors from a given group
Tag all descendants that share all ancestors in common from a given group
Tag all ancestors of a given animal
Tag the common ancestors only of a given animal (i.e., ancestors present on both sides of the pedigree)
Tag all ancestors that share 2 or more ancestors from a given group
With all these options you choose the no. of generations to be considered.
