Using the To-Do List

Can I get a sense of how people use the to-do lists in Legacy? What kind of info do you put on it?

I'm wondering the best way to keep a master list on each person with vital info checkboxes: birth, death, marriage, etc ... So that at a glance, you know what you may be missing. How do you do that? do you use the to-do list?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks, Marilyn. Very helpful. And I'll go look for the mailing list now.

I have played around a bit and there is one list you can generate. Go to "Name List"> Print. Then play around with what you want to have on the page. Under "options" I unchecked "outside borders ..." and "checked short locations". Under "Row 1" tab I checked the "Spread proportionally across one page". Then check which items you want included; RIN, names, sex, born, died, spouse, marriage,etc. You can customize these fields. After you get the fields you want click "preview". Then towards the bottom click "Create a PDF". If you have a PDF program you can edit this is great to keep on the computer or you can print it out. I attached a little preview of one I created. My file of 805 people made 41 pages. A lot to print out! I don't know if that is something you could use, but it is something.
