Plugin Store

This generates a Result Set listing where any Records are used, similar to the View > Record Links… command, Tools > Work with Data > Places… > Where Used… button, and List All Citations for a Selected Source plugin. However, this plugin supports all Record Types, for any selection of Records, and lists details of the explicit Where Used fields appropriate for the Record Type. If the same Record is used in the same place twice, the Data Ref Where Used is marked with an asterisk. If a Record is linked from a rich text Record Link, the Data Ref Where Used is marked with an @ sign.

Records to analyse can be selected via a prompt dialogue or by preselecting them before running the plugin.

See the Help page for full details.

For further support please post in the Family Historian User Group forums or Family Historian at Groups.io email where the plugin author will answer your questions which can be supplemented with screenshots if necessary.
