I would like to filter records on one Local Authority area (Scottish Borders), but I do not see this as an option. Is there any way to do this other than having to select all the respective vice-counties, which do not match up entirely with the Local Authority boundary?
I believe I asked if Local Authority boundaries could be added to iRecord years ago. Very disappointing, it would appear they are still not available, especially as the Local Authority dataset is open source - unless I have missed something?
Some local groups and recording schemes are divided up by Local Authority area not vice-county.
Kind regards,
Natalie

Re: Select by Local Authority area
Agree Natalie
Would be very helpful to have LA boundaries built into the system, particularly as the options for using your own boundaries are limited since you can't upload boundaries, only draw them.
Would be a thumbs up from me.

Dear Natalie,
I understand your frustration regarding the inability to filter records by Local Authority areas like the Scottish Borders on iRecord. Currently, iRecord's filtering options are primarily based on Watsonian Vice Counties, which do not always align with Local Authority boundaries. While the Local Authority dataset is open source, integrating these boundaries into iRecord would require significant development work. I recommend reaching out directly to the iRecord support team to express your interest in this feature, as user feedback can influence future enhancements.
