At Home, Create a “Custom Report”

Template for Checking the IGI

After you have checked Update My Records in the TempleReady program or PAF Insight, you will need to check the Internet versions of the International Genealogical Index, the IGI.  This may result in identifying additional ordinances not identified via Update My Records or PAF Insight.  The following procedure will help in creating a PAF report via your computer at home.  The report makes the checking of the IGI easier

In PAF 5, Go to “Print Reports” using the Printer Icon, Ctl P, or from the File Menu. 

Click Custom. Click the “Fields” button in “Report Layout” box and “move” the following  “Possible Fields” to the “Selected Columns” side by highlighting the desired field name and then clicking on the arrow pointing to the right:

Surname, Given

RIN

Birth or Chr Date

Birth or Chr Place

Baptism Date

Endowment Date

Father

Mother

Spouse

Marriage Date

Sealed to Spouse Date

Sealing to Parents Date

Click “OK” in the “Reports Field” window.

Click the “Sort Order” button in the “Report Layout” box and then “move” “Surname, Given” to the right by highlighting it and clicking the arrow that points to the right.  Click “OK”.  Click “Save”, give the layout a name, and click “Save.”

In the “Select Filter/Focus Focus” box click “Select”

In the “Field Filter” window click the “Define” button and then from the “Field Filtering” Window “move” the following fields from the “Possible Fields” to the “Current Filter” side by highlighting the desired field and then clicking on the arrow pointing to the right:

OR

Is Qualified for Seal to Parents

OR

Is Qualified for Seal to Spouse

Click “Save” in the “Current Filter” box, give the filter the same name selected for the layout.

Click “Save” on the small “Save Filter” window.

Click “OK” on the bottom of the “Field Filtering” window.

Click “OK” at the bottom of the “Find Individual” window.

FYI: for best printing results, click on the Font button on the Reports and Charts window and choose Arial, Regular, 9.  Also, click on Preferences and check Shade reports.

The template may now be used to create reports for helping check the IGI.  (See Computer Guide #8c for instructions on how to check the IGI.)  To list all qualified, the Relationship Filter should be Cleared; otherwise , limit the selection by using the Relationship Filter.
