The Relationships View displays the following sections:
*Active Person: At the top of the screen, name, ID, birth, and death information of the Active Person is displayed. If a photo of the person is available, it is shown on the right hand side. Next to the person's name is a symbol indicating gender, and an Edit button. Clicking the '''{{man button|Edit''' }} button will allow you to edit all of the person's individual information in an '''{{Edit Person''' }} dialog.
*Parents: The next section, the Parents section, displays the families in which the person is a child. Since it is possible for a person to have multiple sets of parents, it is possible to have several Parents sections.
You can control how much information is displayed by using the View menu. The view menu allows you to show or hide details (the birth and death information) and to show or hide siblings. Next to each person listed is an {{man button|Edit}} button, which will allow you to edit all the details of that particular person.
You may add a new set of parents by either selecting the '''{{man button|Add Parents''' }} or the '''{{man button|Share Parents''' }} . The {{man button|Add Parents}} button will create a new family with the Active Person listed as a child. The {{man button|Share Parents}} button will allow you to choose from a list of existing families, and then add the person as a child to that family.
You may edit an existing parents by selecting the {{man button|Edit}} button next to the parents. If you select the '''{{man button|Delete''' }} next to a set of parents, then the Active Person will be removed as a child from the parents. This button does not delete the parents' relationship.
{{man warn| Warning |If you are not careful, it is possible to create multiple families with the same parents. This is rarely what the user wants to do. If you attempt to add a new family that has the same parents as an existing family, GRAMPS will issue a warning dialog. If you get this dialog, you should probably Cancel the edit, and then use the '''{{man button|Select''' }} button to select the existing family.}}
{{man note | Spouse |We use the term spouse for sake of simplicity. However, please note that spouse may in fact be a domestic partner, a partner in a civil union, or various other similar relationships between two people. Spouse relationships are not required to be only between a male and female.}}

You may add a family by selecting the '''{{man label|Add Spouse''' }} in the toolbar. This will create a new family with the Active Person listed as a father or mother.
Selecting the Edit button next to the spouse will allow you to edit the displayed family. Clicking the Delete button will remove the person from the displayed family.
{{man note | Note |We use the terms father and mother for the sake of simplicity. Even if there are no children in a family, the father and mother terminology is still used. In the case of male/male or female/female relationships, the father and mother labels should be considered to be convenience labels.}}
You can reorder the parents and spouses by selecting the '''{{man button|Reorder''' }}. This option will only be enabled if more than one set of parents or more than one set of spouses exists for the Active Person. Selecting this button will display a dialog that will allow you to reorder the families.
