This documentation page is in continued development, as more features are added to TUFaT. For the moment, I've included information on the most requested items that users ask about.

Hiding Information

It's likely that your family members will wish to hide certain information from general users, like their photo or name, or other information. The "Information Hide" option is designed for this purpose. To hide an individual's data, there are a few steps.

1) First the administrator must set the Hide Type.

2) Then, for any particular record, the "Hide Individual" checkbox must be checked.

The specified method of information hiding will now be applied to this record. Later releases of TUFaT will also allow administrators to apply any hide type to all records, or just to a particular login type (like read-only login). Later versions will also allow a wider variety of hide types, like the ability to hide only female maiden names.

Deleting Persons

Besides hiding persons, it's likely that you'll want to be able to delete users who were added erroneously. Please note that this option is NOT available for all records. A person can only be deleted if they have no children. This is logical, because if a person has children, then deleting them will cause their children to be orphans. Also, every child has a parent. Thus, if a parent's information is not available, that doesn't mean that they don't exist - only that the information is not yet available. Thus, rather than deleting the parent record, you would just leave it empty until that information is available.

When editing a record, scroll to the bottom of the page. The Delete button, if available for this record, will appear immediately to the right of Reset.
