Edit Event

The Edit Event screen allows you to edit the selected Event of your project.
The Language defaults to the current HRE Data language but may be changed to edit the Event for any other supported language.

The screen consists of 3 tabs for General settings, Roles and Sentences, plus Event Hints.

General settings:
Here you can edit the Event's name and which event group it belongs to.
The GEDCOM settings define how it should be exported to GEDCOM - either under its own tag name or as an Event tag with a sub-type equal to the name.
The Event validity settings define in what calendar year range the event may be used and the Minimum number of Primary Associates are required for this event.

Roles and Sentences:
This section allows for the editing of the roles that can be applied to associates of the event and whether or not they are Primary (required) roles.
Sentence structures may be edited for each role and each role can be restricted by Sex and Age.
Note that changing the Event language will change the roles to those that are applicable for that language.

Event Hints:
This tab provides you with a free-form text area for you to describe any hints that you may wish to record to assist in the usage of the event.
