From Gramps
→As related to the Home Person
Normally, you will have set yourself as the [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]]. That made Gramps describe records in terms of their relationship to you.
But while having a conversation with someone, you will want to temporarily swap Gramps to reporting from THEIR their perspective instead. (I have a [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Bookmarks|bookmark]] for myself to make it easier to 'find myself' & reset these temporary Home Person designations back to normal.)
Changing the perspective is typically done by [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Setting_Home_person|designating that Person as the Home Person]] and [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Setting_the_Active_Person|navigating the Active Person selection]] to the others as they pop up in discussion.
Once you have set the Home Person, several options can show the Active Person's relationship to the Home Person:
=== Reports ===
Several of the reports (if I recall correctly) have an option to show the relationship to the home person -- or not.
