Editing Information About Relationships
{{man tip| Tip |If a tab label is in boldface type, this means it contains data. If not, it has no data.}}
 
The general information at the top of the window lets you define basic information about the source: its {{man label|Title}} , {{man label|Author}} , {{man label|Abbreviation}} , and {{man label|Publication information}} . You can type this information directly into the adjacent fields.
 
The tabs provide the following information categories of source data:
 
*Note
 
The {{man label|Note}} tab provides a place to record various information about the source that does not fit neatly into other categories. To add a note or modify existing notes simply edit the text in the text entry field.
 
*Gallery
 
The {{man label|Gallery}} tab lets you store and display photos and other media objects associated with a given source (for example, a photo of a birth certificate). The central part of the window lists all such media objects and gives you a thumbnail preview of image files. Other objects such as audio files, movie files, etc., are represented by a generic GRAMPS icon. The buttons '''+''' , '''Select''' , '''Edit''' , and '''-''' let you add a new image, add a reference to an existing image, modify an existing image, and remove a media object's link to the source. Note that the '''Edit''' and '''-''' buttons become available only when a media object is selected from the list.
 
*Data
 
The {{man label|Data}} tab displays "Key/Value" pairs that may be associated with the source. These are similar to the "Attributes" used for other types of GRAMPS records. The difference between these Key/Value pairs and Attributes is that Attributes may have source references and notes, while Key/Value data may not.
 
The central part of the window lists all existing Key/Value pairs. The buttons '''+''' and '''-''' let you add and remove pairs. To modify the text of Key or Value, first select the desired entry. Then click in either the Key or Value cell of that entry and type your text. When you are done, click outside the cell to exit editing mode.
 
*Repositories
 
The {{man label|Repositories}} tab displays the references to the repositories in which the source is contained. The list can be ordered by any of its column headings: '''ID''' , '''Title''' , '''Call Number''' ,and '''Type''' . Double-clicking an entry allows you to view and edit the record. You may also edit the reference. The buttons on the side of the tab allow you add a new repository, link to (or share) an existing repository, edit the reference to the repository, or remove the reference.
 
*References
 
The {{man label|References}} tab lists all the database records that refer to this source, if any. The list can be ordered by any of its column headings: '''Type''' , '''ID''' , or '''Name''' . Double-clicking an entry allows you to view and edit the record.
 
'''Note:'''
 
Only primary objects can be shown in the {{man label|References}} tab: Person, Family, Event, Place, or Media object. Secondary objects such as Names and Attributes can only be accessed through the primary objects to which they belong.
