Hi, Brian! Loving GENOSIS though I don't get to spend as much time on it as I would like! As I am adding events to an ancestor's life, I thought I would like to add when a spouse/child/parent dies to their timeline, but I am not smart enough to figured out how use the form designer (though I have looked at it). :-) Will you kindly give me an idea how to go about that? ~ Lisa

You shouldn't need to use the Form Designer - just click on the + sign at the top of the Timeline and you can add an event type you want. When creating a new event, just enter whatever you would like to call the event (i.e. "Death of Parent") in the "new value" field to the right of the Event Type select drop down - it will be remembered and you will be able to select it going forward.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Brian! Well, that sure makes sense - thank you! How about this: Is there a way to create the event where someone else is linked to it - like the marriage event? Or even like the census event where you can check box all the other people the event also includes? This program ROCKS!!! Thank you! Lisa

That level of "linking" requires the module to be customized, as it's only setup for specific "event types". In a future release I could probably make that configurable, but for now you would have to put the name in the Event Description.

Let me know if that helps.

LOL! Thanks, Brian! I thought it might be something we could do in Form Designer. I appreciate your time! Thank you! ~ Lisa
