File ID Number Report (Deluxe Edition Only)

There are four types of records in Legacy that accept a File ID#.  These are Master Sources, Source Citation Details, To-Do items, and Media items (picture, sound, and video files).  You can use these fields to create a filing system linking your family file records with printed source documentation, printed pictures, and other physical items that you want to store for the future.

The File ID Number Report lists all the numbers that you have in your family file and shows where they were used. 


To generate the File ID Number Report:
1. Choose Other Reports from the Report tab of the Ribbon bar and then choose File IDs from the dropdown list.
2. Select the desired reports options (described below).
3. Click either Print or Preview to view the report.
