It would be great to be able to export a list of living authors, ie excluding any that are marked 'deceased'. Thanks.

  Good afternoon Robin, 

  Thank you for submitting your feature request. We have now added the ability to filter contributors by living/deceased in the main contributors database. More details about how to apply it to your database can be found here.

  I hope this helps!

   

  Best wishes, 

  Emma

  Thanks, Emma. I'm not seeing 'Show' options at the moment - is that because the update hasn't been rolled out yet?

  Best,

  Robin

  Hi Robin, 

   

  If you click on Advanced Filters, then click on the blue "More Options" text you can see at the bottom of this screenshot, it should reveal the "Show" field for you where you can select living/deceased. The feature is live so if this looks different on your end could you please let me know and I'll forward the issue to the team? 

  Kind regards, 

  Emma

  Hi Emma

  Yes, that's what I assumed - but the 'Show' field doesn't appear for me when I click More Options. So please do forward the issue to the team.

  Thanks,

  Robin

  Hi Robin, 

   

  Sorry about that, I have consulted the team and the issue should be fixed for you now! Your server should now have updated to include the feature, but if there are still issues then please could you report it to the Helpdesk with a screenshot attached so that it can be investigated further. 

  Kind regards, 

  Emma

  Yes, great, it shows now. Thanks. (What actually happens if I click 'vampires'?)
