1. Range Check - requirements [1]
Hi All, Stampede time ... Right, As Dave has mentioned in his email earlier, the changes to the Db worked but the increase in Db size has negated the improvements to the range check. We need to look at rewriting it, or equivalent utilities: So, can you let me know your requirements and the relative priorities you have for them and I'll try and put some sanity into your responses. The things that range-check does would probably not appear in the same script again, so we will almost certainly be creatin

Hi Ian There are five possible conditions 1) File has been transcribed and uploaded to FreeBMD and sent to coordinator (No action, Complete) 2) File has been transcribed and sent to FreeBMD only. (action required) 3) File has been transcribed and sent to Coordinator only. (action Required) 4) File Allocated but not yet transcribed 5) File not Allocated. For this you need the Coordinators record and the FreeBMD r

> 5. Do you agree that contact with volunteers on matters like this must take place through co-ordinators? No John, I don't agree. If there is a system for picking out duplicate files, then let it be centralised. Why bother finding out which syndicate a member belongs, find out the coordinator, email the coordinator so that the coordinator can send out the exact email, when the coordinator has less knowledge about the problem? The coordinator is in no position to check the details of a members duplicate

6. Re: please father christmas if you love me at all .... [1]
Hi Graham Steve's right in the comment that we need a basic file list output for button 1 and we can do without the bells and whistles but a list of files without some indication of if it is a syndicate file or a one name study file will be of little use. The "current" way of determining one name study files is the Submitter ID of Peter Hendy-Hibbs (foolproof but not the ID of every one name study) or a variation in entries per file (non-foolproof). To give you an idea of the problem with one name

Hi Graham I would like for Christmas. For the File Range Check Only Sequenced files to be shown. This should remove the one name studies. A text file download with tab separators.

Hello Graham, Using the original range check as the example, I would like: Surname Transcriber Filename First names if possible but not absolutely essential.

Hi Graham Thank you for putting the report names otherwise I'd have been lost. New bits marked *** are further down. Can I throw in more. For 1 - Pages Completed I would like all the info that we used to get but if it would make it more difficult I would accept minimum info to get going. The full info does sometimes show up weird things but these weird things are rare. Can I suggest the other reports, 2 to 4, are of little use. There are possibly better ways of achieving what these are suppo

I cannot let Dave's thoughtful reply go without further comment. I am already receiving feedback from transcribers who have been contacted by Allan, so my work has increased anyway. I asked: "Is the FreeBMD Syndicate Co-ordinator taking over syndicate co-ordinators responsibilities for the accuracy of syndicate transcriptions?" And Dave replied: "No. The syndicate co-ordinator's responsibility is primarily for the completeness of the transcriptions. Some co-ordinators choose to undertake some degree

Hi Graham This is a suggestion to get over the problem you mentioned in your mail. extract from Graham's mail "Range check must be completely rewritten and that will take some > time to work out a way of providing the information without killing the > servers. " In the past I always assumed that the range check gave results based on the last update and not necessarily current information. It doesn't matter if this assumption is right or wrong. Cannot the range check (button 1 type output) be per

I must admit I had thought about Bob's suggestion that the "range check" be done automatically and sent or collected by the co-ordinators but wasn't game to suggest it I think it would be nice to let the coordinators know if a new sort of checking was being done - the first thing most of the transcribers do is throw it back at us so we find out anyhow And it would be good if we knew who was getting them - I'm more worried about what some of them will do who do not let us know However its all going ama

20. Deletion of Volunteers From FreeBMD [1]
Just a reminder to Syndicate Co-ordinators about the ongoing process to delete from the FreeBMD database those volunteers who haven't uploaded any records within the 12 months following their initial registration on FreeBMD. Co-ordinators are requested to check their "Syndicate Maintenance" for details of the volunteers deleted by me as explained in http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/delete_submitterID.html Regards Allan Raymond
21. Re: please father christmas if you love me at all .... [1]
Very common sense suggestions and requests regarding the check on uploaded files, and I agree with them all as they don't seem to be contradictory. Please keep the lead surname though, it helps in spotting wrongly numbered files and other mistakes. But let's get something working soon; I would rather have a check that simply lists all the files uploaded for any given quarter NOW, than wait for an all singing and dancing version next year. I am really desperate to get this sorted and find out what has been u

Hi John Sorry to take a little while to answer this query, you are aware of the problem with access to my PC. I've picked up the various responses from Dave, Graham plus your good self to your original query below. I can't add much to what Dave and Graham provided in their responses, but will readily hold up my hand to say Syndicate Co-ordinators should have been advised by me on the action I was going to take. I can also ensure you the action I am taking in no way takes over any of the excellent work do
