 You can access the '''Data Entry Gramplet''' by adding it to Dashboard (and then detaching if required) or any of the Category view sidebars. The Data Entry Gramplet consist of two separate sections the '''Active person''' and '''New person''' sections. Both sections share a number of identical data entry fields one of them being the {{man label|Surname, Given:}} entry field which is a combined entry for just the surname and given names, separated by a comma. If you need more fine grained editing on the name (for example, you need to add a suffix or prefix), you can use the Edit icon once a person has been selected as the active personin Person List of Gramps.

A new To {{man button|Add}} a '''New person can be automatically added ''' as a relation to the active person. You can choose a relation type from the {{man buttonlabel|Addrelation:}} the new person as a drop down eg: parent, mother, father, spouse, wife, husband, sibling, or child. The Gramplet will guess at the best place to add the person. For example, it will add the new person to the first family available. The Gramplet will also try to discern gender where needed, guessing that the "father" spouse of a family is male, and the "mother" spouse is female. If these guesses are incorrect, you should add your new person via the normal Gramps data entry method.
