Addon:Check Associations

Please use carefully on data that is backed up, and help make it better by reporting any issues to the bug tracker. Unless otherwise stated on this page, you can download this addon by following these instructions. Please note that some Addons have prerequisites that need to be installed before they can be used.

The Check Associations data tool checks the associations of people. It only displays the 'Associations' (person_refs) state. The tool provides a quick way to find People who have an Association (from either direction). As there is no method that allows seeking a specific Association type or pattern of types; eg in this example: “God*”' this tool comes closest.
