The Tag Type window provides both the Add and Edit Tag Type functions.
Datafile Definitions
Some programs include Tag Type definitions in their datafiles. The Tag Type (AKA Fact Type) definitions in the datafile take precedence over the Tag Type definitions maintained in Gedcom Publisher.
For Family Historian, RootsMagic, Legacy, and The Master Genealogist, sentence templates are maintained in the respective application. However, you may rename Tag Type labels and Role labels as explained on the Tag Types help page.
Properties
Label
The Label property defines the text Gedcom Publisher inserts into output pages to identify an instance of the Tag Type.
Enabled
The Enabled property controls whether the Tag Type definition is enabled or not. A disabled item is ignored when Gedcom Publisher is making the book. Note, however, that if there is a less-specific definition of the Tag Type, such as a predefined definition that is included with Gedcom Publisher, that definition will be used for processing any instances of the Tag Type.
Name
The Name property defines the identifier that Gedcom Publisher uses to connect the Tag Type definition to records in the datafile.
For GEDCOM files, Gedcom Publisher assigns names to all the standard GEDCOM name and event tags. So, for example, Gedcom Publisher assigns the name "Birth" to GEDCOM "BIRT" events.
Group
The Group property controls the genealogical meaning of the tag. For example, any tag in the "Birth" group is treated as birth event, and so tags with different names and labels may be used for that purpose. The default setting is "Use Default", and that's best for most cases; it allows the GEDCOM file to determine the Group based on the GEDCOM tag used to record the event.
It's possible for GEDCOM files to use the wrong GEDCOM tag for an event type. In that case, you can set the Group property to correct that issue.
Origin
The Origin property indicates the source of the Tag Type definition. If the value is "C", the Tag Type is custom, i.e., defined by the user. If the value is "P", the Tag Type was predefined by Gedcom Publisher.
Roles
The Roles list includes the Roles defined for the Tag Type. Each Role defines the sentence used for a person attached to an instance of the Tag Type and assigned the given role. See the Role window help page for more details.
