WORLDCONNECT TIP:
NEW FEATURES FOR WORLDCONNECT
(Register Report and change of database password)



Randy Winch, WorldConnect's guru, recently added a "Register Report" format to the display options available. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/

For those who already have a GEDCOM on file with WorldConnect four generations will be displayed on the "Register Report" by default. This also is true for new submitters who use the Standard setup page. However, new submitters who choose the Advanced setup page have the option of selecting two to six generations (item #11) to be displayed. The number of generations may be adjusted at any time using the Advanced setup page. Click on the link that says "Register" to produce a descendant-ordered report based upon the individual on whose page you are creating the report.

Other available options: the "Descendancy Chart" display shows an outline with selections ranging from three to 10 generations on the Advanced setup page. A "Pedigree Chart" is available in table (four generations) or text (three to 10 generations) format on the Advanced setup page. WorldConnect's Standard setup page does not specifically include these charts, but it uses the default options of six generations for the "Descendancy Report," and four generations (table format) for the "Pedigree Chart."

WorldConnect database owners now may change the password for their accounts. See item #3 on both the Standard and Advanced setup pages. Instructions on changing display options are at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/tips/tip-07.html
