Switching bewteen multiple relationships

Dennis Quigley Miller

Generally, I like the new pedigree view. The notable exception is that I really, really miss (perhaps even need) a way to see/switch between multiple spouses and parent relationships. The old view supported that functionality with LT GT symbols that could be clicked upon to "re-orient" the hierarchy. 'Gotta have it back--or something equivalent.

Or am I missing something?

The new landscape pedigree still has those symbols but you have to use the option button to turn them on. I think they should be on when one first starts using the new view to prevent this confusion but leave the ability to turn them off for people who want to hide them for some reason. Also, they have moved the position of the marker on the spouse.

Thank You. I use a PC, which does not have an option key. I believe the alt key is equivalent on Windows, but that key works like a shift key (doesn't do anything, by itself). That said, I do see the "arrows" in Landscape view. But I mainly use Portrait view and I still cannot find them there.

Sorry I was not clear. When I said options button, I didn't mean an option key on the keyboard, I meant the options button on the webpage:

And you are right, there is no option on the Portrait pedigree and the only way at this time to switch is to set preferred spouse and parents on a person's detail page.

Question for those in charge: Will this be added at some point?

OK, thanks
