Quickbar

What is the Quickbar?

The quickbar provides the fastest way to get to a person or family. It's a strip of buttons along the top of the family view. You can drag and drop people or families to this bar and give them any name you want.

The quickbar is limited to 50 entries.

To change the font, font style, size, and color of text in the quickbar...

  1. Choose Reunion > Settings.
  2. Click Family View.
  3. Click Miscellaneous.
  4. In the Text section, make selections from the Quickbar buttons. More information about the family view settings is here.

To rename buttons, click the Edit Quickbar button (the little pencil icon ) at the left end of the quickbar. This opens the Edit Quickbar window, shown below. Just click on a name and you'll be able to edit the name directly in the list. Changing the name of the quickbar button does not change the name of the person in your family file.



To reposition buttons on the quickbar, drag a button horizontally and drop it where you want it. You can also drag names up and down the list in the Edit Quickbar window. The initial placement of a quickbar button is determined by where you drop a button on the quickbar.

To remove a button from the quickbar, drag it off the Reunion window or click the Edit Quickbar button, select the name in the list, and click Remove Button. (But that's not nearly as much fun as dragging them off the family.)

To show/hide icons (the little color-coded people) on the quickbar, choose Window > Quickbar > Text Only/Icon & Text. Or, click the Edit Quickbar button (the little pencil icon on the left end of the quickbar) and use the Show Icons button.

The Go button in the Edit Quickbar window lets you navigate to a person/family record.
