There will be occasions when you want to swap all the data that has been entered for Pa and Pb—such as if you intend for Family 2 records to have Pa as the birth parent (and Pb as the step-parent), regardless of gender, but the records were not created following this convention.
In this example, the step-parent is listed as Pa. We want to swap all the data in the record, so that the mother becomes Pa of Family 2.
Swapping Pa and Pb
- Click on the orange diamond at the top of the card to navigate to ptFAMILIES Overview screen.
Clicking the orange diamond button will open this screen:
- From the FMP Scripts menu, select Swap Pa/Pb. This command acts on one record only and swaps all Pa/Pb fields.
- Review the record, now re-ordered.
