The Source Clipboard Part I (Intermediate)
I had someone ask to see more about the Source Clipboard so here it is. The Source Clipboard is there to save you some time. I will give you an example from my file. I very often get death certificates or marriage certificates in batches. I can load a master source onto the clipboard and then just change the detail when I change certificates. Here is the process step by step.
The Source Clipboard has already saved you some time but here is where it will save you even more. Now I am going to add another Louisiana Death Certificate. I don’t need to change the Master Source, only the Detail. I go to my new person and click the Source Clipboard icon.
I can now paste this citation in all the places it needs to go. When I am done I will go to the next person.
In Part II, I will show you how to save source citations to use again later and also how paste more than one source at a time.
