Description
Sharing of facts was a new feature added with RootsMagic 4. A Person or Family in the database (a Principal) is now able to share a fact with others either in a tree in the database file by linking to them or with those not in a tree in the file by indicating name only. Those people sharing the event with the Principal are each assigned a role in that fact/event.
Reporting and other capabilities within the program relative to shared facts haven’t yet been fully developed (as of current version RM 4.0.7.1). However, the following SQL code can be run against the database in order to obtain that information, as well as relevant fact and Principal data:
and compatible with RM4- #RM7 and #RM8
