*Common Gramplets are applicable to any View ... and the data viewpoint is with respect to the Context of the Active Person and/or the Home Person. They can be docked on any Navigator Category View without making the View unambiguous.

*Specific Gramplets need the context of particular Views to give context to their perspective of the data. The list of Add Gramplets menu will differ according active Category view and Gramplets installed.
