Option to Follow all ancestors on Fan Chart

Tiffany Farnsworth Nash

I would like to easily select and follow all of my direct ancestors in the 7-Gen Fan Chart at the same time.

Currently I need to select each person individually to follow them. With 125 people it is easy to miss someone.

Thank you.

Open up the fan chart, then hover over the person, left click with a mouse, then click the following star. Then move to the next person, etc. You can quickly hover over each person and see if you've marked following. When I did it a few years ago it took about 5 minutes to mark everyone on a 7 generation fan chart.

Thanks Amy Archibald. Yes, that is how it is currently done - one at a time. However, since these people are direct line ancestors it sure would be nice to a one-button select option to allow us to follow-all. Some of us just aren't quick clickers and I'm sure more people would use this feature if attention is brought to it, and it is easier to set up.
