Basics of writing an Auto Type template

First step in writing an Autotype Template of ORA, is to work out what you want it to write into your Family Historian record. Can you do that by copying and pasting the information that the ORA Control Panel has scraped from the website where you have found the information, WITHOUT USING THE MOUSE?
If so, then game on!

I am going to do a search for the Baptism of Matilda Ann Monkton on Familysearch.org (which is free to use!). We can find her Baptism Record at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6ZL6-8151 Scroll down to see all the info.




Note that I have not enabled ORA Settings for Family Search yet, so the ORA Control Panel does not show.

When I enable the Service on the ORA Settings page, the ORA Control Panel will show to the left hand side, and the webpage is slightly re-arranged, now with the Image located at the bottom.




Matilda Ann's record in Family Historian shows the basics of her record, and the pop out of her Parents. We currently have no other info, other than her name and gender.



So where do we start? We could copy and paste all the info extracted by ORA into the relevant places on her FH record, but that is what we want to automate!
