Incomplete Sources under a persons record

As I use the TREE for my data, I see BLUE Logos letting me know I have source information on this person.

What I would like to see is if any incomplete sources are also connected with this person.

Even if you expand the current definition to include the incomplete information would help in finding records needing to be completed.

As it now stands you need to look at each record which is very labor driven,

    James

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    Regarding your statement ...

    As it now stands you need to look at each record which is very labor driven,

    Like it or not ...

    That is the nature of Genealogy/Family History ...

    'Hard slog' ...

    One step, at a time ...

    Each "Record", NEEDS to be looked at carefully; and, processed; BEFORE, moving on, to the next "Record" ...

    Genealogy/Family History, is a "Marathon" ...

    Genealogy/Family History, is NOT a "Sprint" ...

    I know, that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with, some additional, insight; and, perspective.

    Brett

    ps: The "System", CANNOT provide, a list, of ALL "Sources", that are associated, with an individual/person.

    .... As, the circumstances/situation, is in a continual state of 'Flux' - ie. Everchanging; as, "Details" are updated.

    Thank you for your comment. Your response had nothing to do with my question. It does not matter how many sources are attached to a person; I only want to know if any are attached. As you know sources are attached to everyone in the family and may have nothing to do with the record. I thought it would be simple, you now list records having sources. To me an unresolved source should be a source also. The one hundred million Dollar Computer can handle the problem. The question is whether we want to take the time and improve the overall system. There are other improvements that could and should be made.

    I'll get off my soap box and go back to saying nothing about improvements. Thank you for yout time.

    @PAPA-NANA, I think you must be using words with different definitions in mind than what I'm used to, because I cannot make heads or tails of what it is you're suggesting.

    One of the options for coloring the fan chart is by number of sources attached:

    Another option is by research helps:

    Are either of these at all related to what you're talking about?
