2. Managing Data
• Data that has been entered previously
will occasionally need to be edited or
deleted.
• Adding new repositories, sources,
surnames, people, marriages and places
is done more efficiently in the “lists.”

3. To manage your list data, click on the “Lists” icon on the blue
bar, and select the desired item.

4. Each list provides “Edit” and “Delete” functions
for each entry.

5. Clicking on “Edit” will open the template where the entry was
first recorded. Make the desired changes, then click “Save.”

6. Clicking “Delete” will remove the entry entirely.

7. Warning:
• If you delete a person, place, source, or
other item that is linked to data in your
log, you will break those links.

8. Managing Data
• Watch your dropdown boxes, and always
select from the boxes. Only add items that
are not yet in the dropdown, and watch
the lists to prevent duplicate entries.

open an empty template to create a new entry.

the number of objectives returned, or leave them blank to
return all entries. Click “Search.”

changes, then click “Save Objective” to save the changes.

entry, then click “Delete.”

toolbar, or click on “Search Your Logs.”

toolbar, or click on “Search Your Logs.”
