Report Filters
By default, all persons are included in the report,
Add a search filter to restrict the persons /families to included in the report.
| Add a search filter | |
| Clear the search filter | |
| Max Size | Limits the size of each collection in the report. ( Collection of Persons / Families / Sources / Media / Notes ) |
 Restricting the size of the report, helps as we debug and build the script.Large collections of Persons / Families / Sources / Notes / Media can be a resource hog on the browser. Setting the Max Size as 3, will restrict the size of each collection to 3. When you want to include everything set the size to a large number. |
The search filter will only include persons shown in the filter table.
In this example, we use the search filter "@portrait sitch" and to filter on persons who have a portrait and the name 'sitch'

The filter only returns 2 persons, so just 2 persons will be included in the report.
