Info Bubble Facts

Tiffany Nash said: It would be lovely if the 'info' bubble for people would also display Burial Info and perhaps even Marriage Info. It appears that there is room for it. It is very nice to see a snapshot of all main facts instead of having to open a new tab.

Tom Huber said: The above is usually called the "Summary Card", which is individual in nature. There was a recent discussion at https://getsatisfaction.com/familysea... which suggested the possibility of adding the spouse to the card. However, that has its own set of problems.

The idea of the summary card is to present a quick glance at the basic B&D, along with a count of sources, etc. By adding additional fields will expand the card beyond its compact usefulness.

That doesn't mean that the card will not be redesigned (see the other discussion) at some future time and include (maybe in very small type or abbreviated form) other vitals.

Keep in mind that FS operates on a tight budget and is not financially supported by charging an access fee for the site. There are limited resources and as such, all suggestions are carefully considered and either set to one side (perhaps to be integrated into a future feature), or prioritized according to a cost analysis and what else has to be put into place to make the suggested feature work. The number of requests is also considered.

Not to rain on this suggestion, but the need to be able to correct indexes was constantly being requested and it took ten years before even the first element was put into production. Even today, it is not fully implemented and at one time, a FS representative wrote that there were other needs that took a higher priority for the development teams.
