    Source field usage

    I need to do some cleanup. Is there a way to get a source field usage report?

    I don't know if there is one process to provide everything you want, but there are a couple that might help.

    Field - Template - Source
    You can use Lists > Sources in the NavBar to report which source numbers are built with a specific template and/or field. For example, at the top of the list window set Show to Any and set Field to a field name you want. This will report source numbers across all templates that use that field, even if it is empty. You can also filter for sources containing certain text, but note that the comma delimited data shown are from all a source's fields, not just the field you asked for.

    Template - Source - Citation
    Source citations (source# links to People and Couples) can be reported from the NavBar in Lists > Citations by Source# and Template, but not by source field. You can also perform Advanced Finds:
    • Under People use: Conditions - Cited Source #, Person equals [your source#]
    • Under Couples use: Conditions - Cited Source #, Family equals [your source#]
    The conditions can use up to 3 "Or Equals" or a pair of "More Than / Less Than" to search multiple source numbers at the same time.
    When the results appear, click the Show Citations for Results icon at the bottom.

      Thanks. I tried the first solution, but I have to filter through them to see which of the fields is actually filled in. Maybe this is something for the wish list.
