RootsMagic 8:Fact Sentences

Family histories and family websites in a narrative form are popular with many people. You could create a narrative book by sitting down at your computer and typing out every detail you've discovered through your research and through interviews and correspondence. But what if you have not finished your quest for stories and documents and such. You would have to continuously update the narrative to enter each new item and tidbit of information, and revise any affected numbering system you've employed.

With genealogy programs, you enter the data into the program as you find it and let the program create the narrative when you would like to see your progress. In RootsMagic, Sentence Templates tell the program how to combine the various elements (the roles you've defined and the fields from the fact type) into the readable sentences that will appear in your narrative reports and on your websites. However, you are not stuck using the same form all the time (unless you want to).

Sentence composition is controlled in two ways:

#Through the [[RM8:Using Sentence Templates|'''sentence templates''']] for each role associated with a fact type – This provides the default composition of the sentences. This template is used to write the global or main sentence for each role. Because it is the default, all sentences for a particular role for the same fact type will be identical in form, other than for the actual names and details, such as date, place details and place. The sentence for the Principal role is the main sentence for each fact, while the role sentence is displayed for a person who is assigned a shared role. The footnote number is placed after the content of the sentence template and, usually, the period at the end of the sentence.
#Through the '''Customize''' button – This allows you to [[RM8:Customizing Sentences|customize]] each sentence template on a local basis for each person. You can tailor the output to make each sentence (or the ones you want to customize) unique. You can even customize several instances of the same fact for a person (residence or occupation, for example) so there is variety within the person's story. You can use Customize with fact sentences or with role sentences.

The basic sentence can be supplemented in two ways:

#Through the '''Description''' field – The description field can be placed anywhere within the main sentence template to insert textual information. The description field isn't intended for multiple lines of information. It is designed for shorter text that a sentence might include with the date / place for the fact (for example, the Occupation description would be the name of the occupation). Longer (multiple line) descriptions should go into the Note for the fact.
#Through the '''Notes''' field – The content of the [[RM8:Notes|Notes]] field is added after the footnote reference number for source citations, thus making it the ideal place to add supplemental (and expansive) details that are not practical in the main sentence template. Uses of a note field could be to add the text of a will or obituary to the respective fact sentence, or to include stories or letters that have been handed down through generations.

Combining the fact sentence and the note text

*Usually, the fact sentence template ends with a period, followed by the footnote reference number, if there is one. There is one character space then the note text begins, usually with a capital letter that you entered. However, RootsMagic does not force the first character in the note field to be capitalized.
*You can take advantage of this to combine the sentence and a note into one sentence. Use Customize to change the last period in the template to a comma (or semi-colon as needed), and start the note with a lower case letter. Voila, the sentence flows nicely in one combined sentence unit. Note that the footnote reference number now appears after the comma in the midst of the sentence.

RootsMagic 8:Fact Sentences

Family histories and family websites in a narrative form are popular with many people. You could create a narrative book by sitting down at your computer and typing out every detail you've discovered through your research and through interviews and correspondence. But what if you have not finished your quest for stories and documents and such. You would have to continuously update the narrative to enter each new item and tidbit of information, and revise any affected numbering system you've employed.

With genealogy programs, you enter the data into the program as you find it and let the program create the narrative when you would like to see your progress. In RootsMagic, Sentence Templates tell the program how to combine the various elements (the roles you've defined and the fields from the fact type) into the readable sentences that will appear in your narrative reports and on your websites. However, you are not stuck using the same form all the time (unless you want to).

Sentence composition is controlled in two ways:

#Through the [[RM8:Using Sentence Templates|sentence templates]] for each role associated with a fact type – This provides the default composition of the sentences. This template is used to write the global or main sentence for each role.

RootsMagic lets you design custom reports where you choose which fields to include, where those fields are positioned on the page, which people you want to include, and what order you want the information sorted.

==Custom Report==
You can create multiple custom reports and give each one a name so that you can reuse them over and over. To bring up the custom report list:

#Select the Publish page
#Select "All reports and charts"
#Select "Custom Report"
#Select your options from the Report Settings panel:
#;[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Settings-1.jpg|Custom Report Settings 1]]
##Report - This brings up the [[RM8:Custom_Reports#Custom_Report_List|list of custom reports]] to select from. From this list you can create, edit, delete, rename, or copy custom reports.
##Include – This lets you select the people to include in your custom report. You can include everyone in the file, [[RM8:RootsMagic_Explorer|select people from a list]], or choose a [[RM8:Groups|group of people you have created]].
##Shade alternate records - Check this to have every other record shaded.
##Include private facts - Check this to include any facts marked as private.
#Choose the various [[RM8:Report_Settings|layout and style settings]] for the report
#Click the "Generate Report" button to generate the report and display it in the Report Viewer. From there you can modify the report settings, send the report to your printer, or save the report to disk.

==Custom Report List==
The custom report list will display all custom reports associated with the current file. You can highlight any existing custom report and click "Select" to choose that report to print.

[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Select-1.jpg|Select Custom Report]]

The custom report list also lets you:
*'''Add''' - Create a new custom report using the [[RM8:Custom_Reports#Designing_a_Custom_Report|Custom Report Designer]]
*'''Edit''' - Edit the highlighted custom report in the [[RM8:Custom_Reports#Designing_a_Custom_Report|Custom Report Designer]]
*'''Delete''' - Delete the highlighted custom report. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the report.
*'''Rename''' - Rename the highlighted custom report. You will be asked for the new name for the report.
*'''Copy''' - Copy the highlighted custom report. This is useful when you want to create a report similar to an existing one. You can copy the report and then rename and modify the copy.

==Designing a Custom Report==
The custom report designer lets you design your custom report by adding column headings and choosing the fields you want to include in the report, and formatting the fields to attain the desired results.

The Custom Reports Designer is divided into two sections. The toolbar and the cell definition fields are in the upper part of the window, while the report workspace is in the lower portion. The workspace includes the header that shows what the fields contain, while the rows below that contain the actual details that will appear for each person in the report. The Options button lets you define a title for the report, the sort sequence and any spaces you wish to have between entries.

[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Designer-2.jpg|Custom Report Designer 2]]

===Toolbar Commands===
*'''Options''' - Lets you select various options for your custom report
*;[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Options-1.jpg|Customer Report Options]]
**'''Report Title''' – Enter the title you want for your report.
**'''Sort by''' – RootsMagic provides 3 sort levels to sort your report by. RootsMagic will first sort by the 1st sort field, and then will sort duplicate items within that sort order by the 2nd sort field, and so on.
**'''Blank rows between records''' – Enter the number of blank rows you want between records on your report. If this is zero, then there are no blank lines between records.
*'''Align left''' – Aligns the contents to the left of the field. The shortcut key is Ctrl+L
*'''Align center''' – Aligns the contents centered in the field. The shortcut key is Ctrl+E
*'''Align right''' – Aligns the contents to the right of the field. The shortcut key is Ctrl+R
*'''Insert row above''' - Inserts a new blank row above the highlighted row
*'''Insert row below''' - Inserts a new blank row below the highlighted row
*'''Insert column to left''' - Inserts a new blank column to the left of the highlighted column
*'''Insert column to right''' - Inserts a new blank column to the right of the highlighted column
*'''Delete row''' - Deletes the highlighted row
*'''Delete column''' - Deletes the highlighted column
*'''Merge cells''' - If you select multiple cells (hold down the mouse and drag to select multiple cells), this will merge all those cells into a single larger cell
*'''Unmerge cells''' - If you select a merged cell, this will unmerge it back into its individual cells
*'''Clear selection''' - This will delete the contents of all selected cells.

===Cell Definitions===
The next row contains the three cell definition fields, Cell Type (Text or Field), cell contents (text string when field type = Text, or <<Select field>> when Field type = field), and cell width (sets the percentage of the display that you want a column to occupy – 0% lets the program decide on the width.) When you select a cell in the grid, the cell definition will display the current values of that cell, and you can edit those values.

===Header Row===
The Header row displays the text that appears at the top of each column. The Cell Type for the header is Text only. Header cells cannot be merged together. To create a Title for the report that spans the report, click the Options button, and enter the title in the first field in the Options dialog.

===Data Rows===
The rows beneath the header displays the text or field contents that form the body of the report. Any number of rows and fields can be defined and they will all be displayed for each person selected to appear in the report. You can select a number of cells in a column below one another or a number of cells in a row beside one another and merge these cells together using the "Cell, Merge cell" menu command, or the merge toolbar button, or Alt+M.

If you enter Text into a cell, that text will be printed for every record (person) in the custom report. If you enter a field into a cell, RootsMagic will print the value of that field (date, place, etc) for that person in the cell. Some field types can contain more than one value. In that case, RootsMagic will print each of the possible values in the same cell. For example, if you enter "Spouse name" in a cell, and the person has 3 spouses, all 3 spouse names will be displayed in that cell.

==Printing a Custom Report==
Once you have selected:
#The report you want to print
#The people you want to include

Simply click the "Generate Report" button to generate the report and display it in the Report Viewer. From there you can modify the report settings, send the report to your printer, or save the report to disk.

Bruce: /* Designing a Custom Report */

Navigation: [[RootsMagic_8:RootsMagic_8|RootsMagic 8]] > [[RootsMagic_8:Reports_And_Charts|Reports And Charts]] >

----

RootsMagic lets you design custom reports where you choose which fields to include, where those fields are positioned on the page, which people you want to include, and what order you want the information sorted.

==Custom Report==
You can create multiple custom reports and give each one a name so that you can reuse them over and over. To bring up the custom report list:

#Select the Publish page
#Select "All reports and charts"
#Select "Custom Report"
#Select your options from the Report Settings panel:
#;[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Settings-1.jpg|Custom Report Settings 1]]
##Report - This brings up the [[RM8:Custom_Reports#Custom_Report_List|list of custom reports]] to select from. From this list you can create, edit, delete, rename, or copy custom reports.
##Include – This lets you select the people to include in your custom report. You can include everyone in the file, [[RM8:RootsMagic_Explorer|select people from a list]], or choose a [[RM8:Groups|group of people you have created]].
##Shade alternate records - Check this to have every other record shaded.
##Include private facts - Check this to include any facts marked as private.
#Choose the various [[RM8:Report_Settings|layout and style settings]] for the report
#Click the "Generate Report" button to generate the report and display it in the Report Viewer. From there you can modify the report settings, send the report to your printer, or save the report to disk.

==Custom Report List==
The custom report list will display all custom reports associated with the current file. You can highlight any existing custom report and click "Select" to choose that report to print.

[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Select-1.jpg|Select Custom Report]]

The custom report list also lets you:
*'''Add''' - Create a new custom report using the [[RM8:Custom_Reports#Designing_a_Custom_Report|Custom Report Designer]]
*'''Edit''' - Edit the highlighted custom report in the [[RM8:Custom_Reports#Designing_a_Custom_Report|Custom Report Designer]]
*'''Delete''' - Delete the highlighted custom report. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the report.
*'''Rename''' - Rename the highlighted custom report. You will be asked for the new name for the report.
*'''Copy''' - Copy the highlighted custom report. This is useful when you want to create a report similar to an existing one. You can copy the report and then rename and modify the copy.

==Designing a Custom Report==
The custom report designer lets you design your custom report by adding column headings and choosing the fields you want to include in the report, and formatting the fields to attain the desired results.

The Custom Reports Designer is divided into two sections. The toolbar and the cell definition fields are in the upper part of the window, while the report workspace is in the lower portion. The workspace includes the header that shows what the fields contain, while the rows below that contain the actual details the will appear for each person in the report. The Options button lets you define a title for the report, the sort sequence and any spaces you wish to have between entries.

[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Designer-2.jpg|Custom Report Designer 2]]

===Toolbar Commands===
*'''Options''' - Lets you select various options for your custom report
*;[[File:RM8_Publish-Reports-CustomReports-Options-1.jpg|Customer Report Options]]
**'''Report Title''' – Enter the title you want for your report.
**'''Sort by''' – RootsMagic provides 3 sort levels to sort your report by. RootsMagic will first sort by the 1st sort field, and then will sort duplicate items within that sort order by the 2nd sort field, and so on.
**'''Blank rows between records''' – Enter the number of blank rows you want between records on your report. If this is zero, then there are no blank lines between records.
*'''Align left''' – Aligns the contents to the left of the field. The shortcut key is Ctrl+L
*'''Align center''' – Aligns the contents centered in the field. The shortcut key is Ctrl+E
*'''Align right''' – Aligns the contents to the right of the field. The shortcut key is Ctrl+R
*'''Insert row above''' - Inserts a new blank row above the highlighted row
*'''Insert row below''' - Inserts a new blank row below the highlighted row
*'''Insert column to left''' - Inserts a new blank column to the left of the highlighted column
*'''Insert column to right''' - Inserts a new blank column to the right of the highlighted column
*'''Delete row''' - Deletes the highlighted row
*'''Delete column''' - Deletes the highlighted column
*'''Merge cells''' - If you select multiple cells (hold down the mouse and drag to select multiple cells), this will merge all those cells into a single larger cell
*'''Unmerge cells''' - If you select a merged cell, this will unmerge it back into its individual cells
*'''Clear selection''' - This will delete the contents of all selected cells.

===Cell Definitions===
The next row contains the three cell definition fields, Cell Type (Text or Field), cell contents (text string when field type = Text, or <<Select field>> when Field type = field), and cell width (sets the percentage of the display that you want a column to occupy – 0% lets the program decide on the width.) When you select a cell in the grid, the cell definition will display the current values of that cell, and you can edit those values.

===Header Row===
The Header row displays the text that appears at the top of each column. The Cell Type for the header is Text only. Header cells cannot be merged together. To create a Title for the report that spans the report, click the Options button, and enter the title in the first field in the Options dialog.

===Data Rows===
The rows beneath the header displays the text or field contents that form the body of the report. Any number of rows and fields can be defined and they will all be displayed for each person selected to appear in the report. You can select a number of cells in a column below one another or a number of cells in a row beside one another and merge these cells together using the "Cell, Merge cell" menu command, or the merge toolbar button, or Alt+M.

==Printing a Custom Report==
Once you have selected:
#The report you want to print
#The people you want to include

Simply click the "Generate Report" button to generate the report and display it in the Report Viewer. From there you can modify the report settings, send the report to your printer, or save the report to disk.

Ancestry.com is a popular subscription website for finding records with genealogical significance and for creating and maintaining family trees. The records found on Ancestry.com can be linked as sources to people in online member trees. TreeShare for Ancestry enables you to download a tree from Ancestry.com into RootsMagic and upload a tree from RootsMagic to Ancestry.com.

This article details the TreeShare feature which lets you share data back and forth with Ancestry. [[RM8:WebHints|Ancestry WebHints are detailed here]].

==Accessing TreeShare Features==

To access TreeShare for Ancestry features, select the Publish page and click the Ancestry button.

[[File:RM8_Publish-TreeShare.jpg|TreeShare]]

==Uploading to or Downloading from Ancestry==

Once you are logged in, RootsMagic will give you the option to:

#Upload your RootsMagic file to a new Ancestry tree
#Download an existing Ancestry tree into a new RootsMagic file

[[File:RM8_Ancestry-1.jpg|Ancestry Upload/Download]]

===Uploading===
If you choose to upload your RootsMagic file to a new Ancestry tree, you will see this screen.

[[File:RM8_Ancestry-2.jpg|Create Ancestry Tree]]

Enter the name for your new Ancestry tree, plus an optional description. You then have the following options when uploading your data to Ancestry.

*Allow others to view this tree - Leave this unchecked if you want your Ancestry tree to be private and hidden.
*Add the people in this tree to Ancestry's index - If you want people to be able to find your tree when they search for a name in it, then you can check this box.
*Upload media - This lets you choose whether to upload your media items.
*Upload sources - This lets you choose whether to upload your sources.
*Upload notes - This lets you choose whether to upload your notes.
*Upload place details - If you mark this checkbox, RootsMagic will prepend the place details to the place before uploading it to Ancestry.
*Upload private facts - This lets you choose whether to upload private facts.
*Upload private notes - This lets you choose whether to upload private notes.

The dialog window will display the progress of your data transfer. The transfer time varies depending upon your internet speed, the size of your database, and the number of images you are uploading or downloading.

===Downloading===
If you already have a tree on Ancestry, you will also be given the option to download it into a new, blank RootsMagic database. A list of trees that you own, as well as trees that have been shared with you with Editor rights will be displayed to select from. A dialog window will open if you need to create a new database for your download.

==Viewing RootsMagic and Ancestry Persons Side by Side==

When done, you will see the TreeShare window. The people online and in RootsMagic will be the same.

[[File:RM8_Ancestry-3.jpg|Ancestry Update]]

Changes can be made to your RootsMagic and/or your online tree. To compare and share the updates, click the Ancestry TreeShare button on the Publish page. Changes will be gathered and TreeShare will open. The name of the tree that you are connected to is displayed in the upper left corner. The name index appears in the far left panel of the TreeShare window. Above the name index is a filter to “Only show changed people”. Check this option to see a list of those people whose records have been changed or uncheck it to see a list of everyone in your database.

Select a name to see a comparison of the RootsMagic and Ancestry records. Green highlighting indicates that the information is identical. Yellow highlighting means the information is similar but not identical. Pink highlighting means it is new or different. When desired, click the “Edit RootsMagic person” button to open their “Edit person” window in RootsMagic. You can go directly to the person on your tree on Ancestry.com by clicking the “Show on Ancestry” button.

The process of sharing data is the same whether you are moving information from RootsMagic to your Ancestry Member Tree or vice versa. You have control over what facts to share and how to share them. Check the box by the data you want to share and an options list will appear, including options to add sources and media if applicable. After choosing to add a fact, it will appear in blue lettering in the other window to indicate that the update is pending. The choice to update existing events opens a new window where you can select the specific items to move. The selected facts will also appear in blue in the other window.

[[File:RM8_WebHints-Ancestry-3.jpg|Ancestry WebHInts Update 2]]

If you change your mind about any of your pending changes, click the “Cancel changes” button. No change is finalized until you click the “Accept changes” button.

==Matching People Between RootsMagic and Ancestry==

If a person only appears on one tree, possible matches from the other tree will be displayed OR the window will be blank.

[[File:RM8_Ancestry-4.jpg|Ancestry Link Person]]

The “Show all” link allows you to see unmatched records on that tree. The “Show best matches” link toggles you back to the list of best possible matches. When there are no matches, you can add the person to the other tree by clicking the “Add…person to…” button. When there is a good match, you can select the matching person and click the “Link…person” button. If you feel that the person does not belong in the tree, you can click “Delete the person from…” button. NOTE: There is NO UNDO button.

The process works the same whether the new person is on Ancestry or in RootsMagic.

==Settings==

The [[RM8:WebHint_Settings|Settings Page has a WebHints view]] where you can adjust the settings for your Ancestry connection.

RootsMagic 8:FAQ Support Questions

2021-10-02T22:09:42Z

Bruce: /* RootsMagic hangs when opening with icon on task bar */

Navigation: [[RootsMagic_8:RootsMagic_8|RootsMagic 8]] >
----

== How do I open my RootsMagic 7 database or backup in RootsMagic 8 ==

RootsMagic 8 has a different file format and extension for database (.rmtree) and backup (.rmbackup) files. The RootsMagic 7 database (.rmgc) and backup (.rmgb) files cannot be opened inside RootsMagic 8. The RootsMagic 7 database (.rmgc) file needs to be imported into RootsMagic 8 by creating a new file. The new database will then have the correct (.rmtree) file extension.

The RootsMagic 7 backup (.rmgb) needs to be first restored inside of RootsMagic 7 before you can import it into RootsMagic 8. If you no longer have access to RootsMagic 7 you can rename the file extension by right clicking on it, select Rename and then change the extension .rmgb to .zip. As a .zip file you can use the computer's program to extract or unzip the file. The unzipped file will contain the RootsMagic (.rmgc) file that can now import into RootsMagic 8. (See [[RootsMagic_8:Creating_a_New_Database|Creating a New Database]] for additional steps)

== [[RM8:Ancestry_Login|Ancestry unable to login]] ==
When I click on Ancestry TreeShare login nothing happens or I receive a message my password is incorrect.

In a main view use the key combo Ctrl+Shift+U and select "Reset Program Settings". Close and reopen RM8. Go to Settings>WebHints and click on "Reset TreeShare". Then go to Publish>Ancestry TreeShare and see if you can login.

Temporarily turn off your firewall, antivirus and internet filtering software to see if one of them is blocking RM8 access to the internet. Then adjust their settings.

== [[RM8:FamilySearch_Login|FamilySearch unable to login]] ==

In a main view use the key combo Ctrl+Shift+U and select "Reset Program Settings". Close and reopen RM8. Then go to Publish>FamilySearch Central and see if you can login.

Temporarily turn off your firewall, antivirus and internet filtering software to see if one of them is blocking RM8 access to the internet. Then adjust their settings.

== [[RM8:Scaling|RootsMagic hangs when opening with icon on task bar]] ==

When trying to launch RootsMagic the icon appears on the task bar and then it hangs.

This can happen with computers with a Gaming GPU or are heavy into graphic, video and moving editing. The Scaling (GPU) issue can be resolved by following these steps:

#Right click on the RootsMagic desktop shortcut
#Select Properties>Compatibility tab
#Click "Change high DPI settings" button
#Check the box "Override high DPI scaling behavior"
#Change dropdown to System or System (Enhanced)
#Start RootsMagic 8.

== [[RM8:Reset_Registration_Key|Clearing the Registration key]] ==

The RootsMagic registration key can be cleared by opening RootsMagic in a main view and using the key combo Ctrl+Shift+U, selecting "Reset Registration Information", then closing the program to clear it. If you receive a message that prevents you from open RootsMagic...
You can manually clear the registration key by deleting the RootsMagicApp.xml file.

The RootsMagicApp.xml is located here.

Windows: C:\ProgramData\RootsMagic\Version 8\RootsMagicApp.xml

Mac: Public/RootsMagic/Version 8/RootsMagicApp.xml

The next time RootsMagic is opened you can select to run in Essential mode, purchase RootsMagic, or Unlock RootsMagic 8 with a registration key.
