Query Window

Query Window: General Tab

Query Type	The record type of the Query. You can create a query for any type of record supported by Family Historian, except for Header records. You can also create a query to range over facts (events or attributes).
Read-only	Check this if you want to protect a query against changes or accidental deletion. Only available with Custom Queries (Standard Queries are always read-only).
Description	This is a comment field. It is a good idea to provide a description for each query, to remind yourself of the purpose it was intended to serve.
Title	This will appear as a title line, at the top of each page, when the query is printed. You can use special codes if you wish the current date or time to be included as part of the title. See Special Codes in Query Titles and Subtitles.
Subtitle	Choose one of a list of pre-defined subtitles. The subtitle appears beneath the title line, at the top of each page, when the query is printed. If you wish to create your own custom subtitle, choose 'Custom' and enter the subtitle in the box that appears to the right of the dropdown list. You can use special codes in your subtitle if you want the current date or time to be included as part of the subtitle. See Special Codes in Query Titles and Subtitles.
Orientation	Format of page when printed - Landscape or Portrait. Can also be changed in Print Setup (accessible from the File menu).
Multi-page Handling	Indicates what you wish to happen if the query, when printed, is more than a single page in width (given the current orientation). The choices are: Down then across Print all pages for the leftmost columns, before printing any pages for columns to the right. Across then down Print all pages for the topmost rows, before printing any pages for subsequent rows. Max. one page across Ignore all columns which cannot fit onto a single page
Group 1/2/3	When you click on the Query button on the main application toolbar, a dropdown menu shows queries broken down into different groups (submenus) - such as "Ages and Birthdays". This makes queries easier to find. You are recommended to assign all custom queries to one or more appropriate groups. If an appropriate group does not already exist, you can create your own. To do this, click on one of the Group fields and choose <Add New...> from the list. If you wish, you can add queries not just to groups, but to subgroups within groups (nested to any level), and the menu structure will reflect this. To learn more see Add Query Group. Any queries which are not assigned to a group can be accessed via "<New/Ungrouped Queries> on the same Query menu. It is possible to change the groups for standard queries as well as custom queries. Be aware if you do this, however, that any changes may be lost (and therefore may need to be re-applied) when you next apply an upgrade to Family Historian.
