Is there a way to mark profile finished/not finished?

Hello, 

I have some profiles which I know they did not have any children (just died young) and they did not have any marriages (finished). And some profiles may have children, may have marriages, but I do not no yet. I would like to see clearly in the tree this status and to be able to filter the tree and the list of all my profiles by this status (finished or not finished). In this way Geni could benefit that it would not search for finished profiles a matches, instead I would like to be able to make a adjusted search or research (with slight changes to the names) by myself for unfinished profiles. 

Maybe Geni has such functions, just I did not found them? 

Best regards, 

Jonas

  I don't know of any attribute of profiles that you could use to mark them as completed.

  But what about a document?

  Perhaps you could

  1. Make a plain text document called something like
     Kupinas, Jonas, completed relatives
  2. Attach this document to a profile that you have completed.
  3. Whenever you complete another profile, copy its ID number from the address bar of the browser into the clipboard.
  4. Locate the document amongst your documents and Edit it.
  5. Add the profile ID and Search More.

  This will build a list of the completed profiles for your relatives.

  If you don't yet know how to add documents to profiles and how to edit the information about the document, go to
  https://www.geni.com/projects/User-Tutorial-Basic-Techniques-3-Profile-Page-Tabs/38053 and scroll down to the big green heading "2. Documents" and read that part of the page.

  You could also make another document for profiles that are not completed yet, and attach your other relatives to that one.

  You could also do this with a Project instead of with a Document.

  I have essentially the same problem.  I want to complete specific fields in the profiles of a specific set of relatives.  It would save me a LOT of work if there were a way to mark the unfinished profiles so I can keep track of the work to be done.  I would also need a way to list or display the profiles that need attention.
