Privacy filters

[wmconlon]

I just observed that despite enabling privacy filtering some living people have been exported to a web project. In the sidebar, if I select Results-->Flags-->private, I get a list of people who meet the criteria, but not living individuals without birth dates.

According to the help, a person is considered private who has no death date and was born after a certain year. The problematic individuals do not have a birth date assigned and hence fail the AND logic. This was an unanticipated problem, which appears to require me to flag each of these individuals as private.

Flagging people as private is a little cumbersome, requiring navigation to the Flags tab and potentially error prone, since one must manually perform this step, and then remove the flag when a birth date is applied.

I would much prefer that Reunion solve this problem programaticly, but I am not sure what the logic could be. Perhaps these individuals could cause an alert upon initial data entry or upon report generation.

I use an "abt xxxx" date where xxxx is a reasonable guess as to when someone was born.

This then make the person Private according to rules that Reunion uses.

In the Memo field for that estimated birth event I put

"date added to make data private online."
