== The different Categories ==
Genealogical information is very broad and can be extremely detailed. Displaying it poses a challenge that Gramps takes on by dividing and organizing the information into a series of Categories, each with their own Views. Each View displays a portion of the total information, selected according to a particular category. This will become clearer as we explore the different Categories.
The different Categories of the Navigator: The navigator is located at the left of the window and allows selection of the different categories (See: Fig. 3.1)
*{{icon|gram}} '''Dashboard''': Displays different general purpose Gramplets, small widgets that can help in your genealogical research.
*{{icon|peop}} '''People''': Displays the people in the family tree without their connections. This Category contains the PeopleListView and the PeopleTreeView.
*{{icon|rela}} '''Relationships''': Shows the relationships between the Active Person and other people in a textual way. This includes parents, spouses, and children.
*{{icon|fami}} '''Families''': Shows the families in the family tree.
*{{icon|ance}} '''Charts''': Displays graphical trees for the selected person.
*{{icon|even}} '''Events''': Displays the events in the family tree.
*{{icon|plac}} '''Places''': Displays the places in the family tree.
*{{icon|geog}} '''Geography''': Displays data of your family tree on a map.
*{{icon|sour34}} '''Sources''': Displays the sources in the family tree.
*{{icon|cite}} '''Citations''': Displays the citations in the family tree.
*{{icon|repo}} '''Repositories''': Displays the repositories in the family tree.
*{{icon|medi}} '''Media''': Displays the media objects in the family tree.
*{{icon|note}} '''Notes''': Displays the notes in the family tree.
The categories can contain several ways of presenting the data. Each specific way is called a View. Before we launch into a description of each View, let's first explain how to switch between Views.

More serious problems cause an error dialogue to appear which will describe the actions you should take.
