Tuesday's Tips provide brief how-to's to help you learn to use the Legacy Family Tree software with new tricks and techniques.
What's This Icon? (Beginner)
Whenever a Legacy icon is colored in that means that there is data entered for that person in that section. In the below screenshot you can see that I have entered events for Benjamin and his wife Anne because both of their events icons are colored. But why does Anne's icon have a red circle above it and Benjamin's doesn't?
The red circle means that Anne has had an event SHARED with her. Benjamin doesn't have this red circle because I have not shared any events with him. It is the RECIPIENT of the shared event that gets the red circle not the person from whom the event was shared.
This is just another way Legacy gives you a visual clue to what you have entered.
