Property Box

Property Box: Links Tab

The Links tab is only used with Media records. It allows you to view, add and delete links to Media records.  It displays all records that are linked to the current Media record.  If a picture is linked to an event (or fact), the record that the event belongs to will be listed in the first column, and the event will be listed in the 'Detail' column.

You can add a note for each link.  You can also view more details about each link in the 'Flags' column.  The icons in the Flags column have the following meanings:

Frame Link
The link is a frame link.
Exclude from Diagrams and the Focus Window.
Exclude from Reports, Books and web-pages.
Do not let Family Historian generate a caption automatically for this picture (or other media) when it is displayed in a report or web-page. Instead use the associated annotation (if any) as the caption.


The first flag indicates whether a link is a frame link or not.  You can convert a simple link to a frame link by clicking on the 'Add Frame Only' button on the toolbar.

To change the other flag settings, right-click on the relevant item in the List, and choose the appropriate option from the menu that appears.

The Links tab of the Property Box is very similar to the Links tab of the form displayed in the Display Pane of the Media Window.  See that window for more details.
