There is no way to mark more than one Fact label as the Preferred fact. On most reports there is a way to print all entries of a fact label without printing all fact labels for every fact. Let me use an example. I enter multiple Census records. One is marked as the Preferred Census. I want to generate a report showing all entries of the Census but not for any other fact. I'll use the Custom Report to illustrate. 1. Click Publish, Person Reports, Custom Report. 2. Specify the individuals to be included in the report 3. Click the icon for Items to include. 4. Remove the check marks for the notes. 5. Ensure the option at the top, "Include only Preferred Facts" has a check mark. 6. In the left pane, use the list of facts to include the facts you want. In my case, I added the Census fact. 7. Highlight each fact in the list of facts to be included and click on the box *"Fact" Options* 8. I review each fact ensuring the Fact option to "include only Preferred Fact" is checked. 9. I review the Census fact's Options but ensure its "Include only Preferred Fact" is NOT checked. 10. Click OK and generate the report. You should have a report which lists all the census items but only the Preferred fact for everything else. Hope that helps.
