Attributes for proband vs kindred

    Am wondering how flexible the data sheet design is. In particular, we have a questionnaire in which the proband has data attributes (i.e., fields) that the kindred do not, so is it possible to either bind a different data sheet to the proband than what we would bind to the kindred, or can we at least hide these attributes for individuals that are not a proband?

    If this is not possible, then I assume our best option would be to enter these data outside of Progeny and then import the required data into Progeny so that we could create the desired pedigree?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your post Greg!

    Currently, the database does not have IDS formats that are specific to probands. The IDS that is setup will be shown for all persons in the pedigree. A lot of our clients will create multiple tabs on the IDS to segment the data entry. Perhaps you can create a kindred tab that the db users will use on the other individuals in the pedigree.

    I will add your feature request to our current list. Are there any other community members that have addressed this differently in their Progeny database?
