Legacy "Intellishare"

[Doug McDonald]

LEagcy has the "intellishare" feature that you are supposed to
initialize using a sub-menu of the "Merge" button. But no such
submenu item exists. The item to use Intellishare for a merge
is as described in the Help file.

Anybody know anything about this?

If you have the latest build of Legacy the intellishare automatically

assigns the intellishare numbers now. You no longer have to worry about it.

It is probably only available in the deluxe version. It is sort of
invisible unless you are actively using it and even then it is still
invisible.

from the help file:

Here is how IntelliShare works:
Form a research group of two or more people. (Each must be using Legacy.)
One person in the group is designated as the "Keeper of the Records" (Keeper
for short). This person keeps the master Family File. The first step is to
mark all the records in the Master Family File with a serial number that
uniquely identifies each individual. This is done in Legacy by pressing the
Merge picture button and choosing the IntelliShare option. From the
IntelliShare window, make sure the Set IntelliShare Values on Every
Individual in the Family File option is selected and then press the Set
IntelliShare Values button. This will insert a unique serial number in every
individual record. The Keeper now sends a copy of the Family File to all the
other people participating in the group. (The copy must be sent as a Legacy
family file or a backup copy. A GEDCOM file will not work.)

Any or all members of the group can make changes to existing records, delete
or unlink records, or add new records to the Family File. (They should not
re-serialize the file.) The Keeper can also make changes and additions to
the master file.

Gene was correct - the IntelliShare values are automatically set now.
The Help file hasn't caught up yet with the change, but will be correct
in the next build.
