{{Third-party plugin}}{{man warn|No longer supported|2=The Census Addons have been replaced in Gramps 4.2.X by the [[CategoryAddon:Plugins]][[Category:Developers/General]][[Category:Reports]][[Category:GrampletsForms_Gramplet|Forms Gramplet addon]]}}
There are two census addons: a gramplet and a report.
Before using the census addons you need to define which of your sources are census sources.
To do this you need to edit each source and add an entry in the Data Attributes tab. The entry must have a key of "Census" and a value which is a code that identifies the census. Prior to v4.1, use the Data tab. After typing the value code you must press "Enter" before clicking "OK", or the value will not be saved.
{{man tip| Translated Gramps |2=If you are using a Gramps in other language than english, type the value key in translated form. E.g. in finnish "Väestönlaskenta".}}
A full list of codes is available. See: [[Census Definitions]]
=== Writing your own defintions definitions ===
If a census you require is not in the list of supported definitions then you can write your own.
==Example of using the Census Addon==
This is an example of how to get started with the Census Addon after it is installed as described above. The 1941 1841 UK census is used as the example:
# Start or open a family tree in Gramps.
# Add a person (name and gender) if this is a new family tree.
# Go to the Source view.
# Add a source with a title like "Source for 1841 Census"
# Add a Census key (v4.1):## Open that source and go to the "Attributes" tab.## Click on the plus symbol to add a key and value.## Fill in the Attribute field with "Census".## Fill in the Value field and with "UK1841". It is important here to not have a space in the Value. Use "UK1841", not "UK 1841".## Click on OK.# Add a Census key (Prior to v4.1):## Open that source and go to the "Data" tab.## Click on the plus symbol to add a key and value.## Fill in in the key column with "Census" and hit enter.## Click on Value column and fill in "UK1841", hit enter. It is important here to not have a space in the Value. Use "UK1841", not "UK 1841".## Click on OK.## Reopen the Source to see if the key and value pair have been successfully stored in the "Data" tab (optional).
# Go to the People view and switch on the sidebar (View->sidebar).
# Add the "Census Gramplet" by rightclicking on the side bar and choosing "Add Gramplet->Census Gramplet".
