Standardized Locations in New Source Linker

Christina Sachs Wagner

There is one census where the location is more exact than the standard city, county, state, country. Before the change to the new source linker, one could standardize the exact location, by clicking in the box, adding a space and accepting the more exact location in the text box, but also standardized it, so no red flags occured. This standardization would carried through for each member of the household without any further input from the user, while still in the record linking process.

With the new source linker, the system requires this standardization step to be repeated for each member of the household and the carry through for the entire household has been lost. Was this feature intentionally dropped in the new programming or simply overlooked? Can we get it back?
