Addon:Check Associations

This is a Third-party Addon. The Addon/Plugin system is controlled by the Plugin Manager. Please use carefully on data that is backed up, and help make it better by reporting any issues to the bug tracker. Unless otherwise stated on this page, you can download this addon by following these instructions. Please note that some Addons have prerequisites that need to be installed before they can be used.

The Check Associations data tool checks the associations of people. It only displays the 'Associations' (person_refs) state. The tool provides a quick way to find People who have an Association (from either direction). As there is no method that allows seeking a specific Association type or pattern of types; eg in this example: “God*”' this tool comes closest.

Usage

This tool is more of a Report. Has no options or context menus.

Select menu Tools -> Utilities -> Check Associations data... to show the results in the Associations state tool window.

The Associations state tool window will show a results table with:

• Name - Persons name
• Type of link - Association type
• Of - Associated Person
• Relationship Calculator - Calculated relationship if any.

You can sort on the Type of link column, then manually look up the Person in each line and Edit the Person.

Example next steps

The specific workflow AFTER opening the 2 people could be:

1. determine which person would be the Godchild, open their Person Editor to look for Baptism/Christening events where they are “Primary”,
2. create an events if missing, open other Persons Editor,
3. drag/share Baptism/Christening event to that person if missing,
4. set Godparent role on shared event, open all “God*” Associations,
5. move any Association Sources/Notes to appropriate section of the shared Event,
6. save Event,
7. delete the Association,
8. OK to commit the 2 Edit Persons.
