The information is incomplete.
To get more concrete: let's assume that we are talking about a fiddling piece like the following unfinished fragment I found lying on my hard drive. The fingering instructions are not necessarily wholly complete or accurate since I actually don't have a violin in my house and did not have one at the time I wrote this down. But you should be able to figure it out nonetheless. In the first measure, there is a already a certain position/fingering divergence because of physical necessities. Still, this is a rather straightforward shuffle. So how would you want to have the first measure look in tablature? A scan or photograph of a sketch is fine.
