Example DNA Matches table.

The DNA Matches gramplet addon presents the users with a table of people whose DNA has a match with the currently selected person.

Usage

DNA Matches Gramplet addon - detached - default

The purpose of this gramplet is to present users with a table of all people whose DNA has a match with the currently selected person. Each person with shared segments is a separate Association. The Notes in the Association contain the shared segment info as calculated by the vendor.

You can install the DNA Matches Gramplet on the bottombar of one of the people or relationship category list views.

Creating a DNA Association

The process of creating a DNA association for use with DNA Matches is the same as for the DNA Segment Map Gramplet. Please refer to the instructions on that addon's wiki article for information on how to do this.

Navigation

Double-clicking on a person in the table will make them the active person. Right-clicking on a person in the table will open the DNA association between that person and the currently selected person.
