== Using the People View ==
The most intuitive way to select an Active Person is to use the [[Gramps_3.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#People_ViewPeople_Category|People ViewCategory]]. When in the People View, just select the name of the desired person from the list by clicking that list entry. The person you have selected becomes active. The statusbar updates to reflect the change of the active person.
== Using the Family View ==
When in the [[Gramps_3.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Relationships_ViewRelationships Category|Relationships View]], you can easily navigate between the members of the displayed family as follows:
To make the currently selected spouse the Active Person, click the double-arrow button to the right of the Active Person box. Alternatively, right-click into the spouse box and select {{man label|Make the selected spouse an Active Person}} item from the context menu.
In addition to this, GRAMPS provides an extensive set of keyboard navigation options. The detailed reference to the key bindings is found in the ''append-keybind''.
== Using the Pedigree View Ancestry Views ==
The [[Gramps_3.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Pedigree_ViewAncestry_Category|Pedigree ViewAncestry Category]] also allows allow you to move along the family tree. The benefit of this method is that you can see more than one generation of the family tree. Also, you can jump directly from a great-grandson to a great-grandfather without going through the intermediate generations.
Note that after changing the Active Person in the Pedigree ViewAncestry Views, the display is re-adjusted to show up to five generations, starting from the newly selected Active Person. When in the Pedigree ViewAncestry Views, you can easily navigate between the members of the displayed family tree as follows:
To make any displayed person the Active Person, right-click the corresponding box and choose the first entry in the context menu.
Similar to setting the Home person, you can bookmark other people from the database to simplify further navigation. To bookmark a person, first navigate to that person, then choose ''' Bookmarks ->Add bookmark ''' . To move to that person from anywhere in the database, choose ''' Bookmarks ->Go to bookmark ->Person's name ''' .
<br clear="all"/>
You can manage your bookmarks by choosing ''' Bookmarks ->Organize bookmarks... ''' . This opens the following {{man label|Organize Bookmarks}} dialog with the list of bookmarks and the controls to modify this list.
== Using the Clipboard ==

This tool provides a temporary note pad to store database records for easy reuse. In short, this is a sort of the copy-and-paste functionality extended from textual objects to other types of records used in GRAMPS.
Now you add two new persons for the witnesses (assuming you do not have them already in your database). Simply drag and drop the birth info to the witness event screen. You are then presented with the screen where you can change the role of the witness to witness for this birth event. You do the same with the other witness.
This saves you a lot of typing and possible errors. == Windows Manager == [[Image:Windows_manager.png|thumb|right|250px|Fig. 6.4 Windows manager]] '''Windows ->''' Menu provides a quick access to opened windows. <br clear="all"/> {{man index|Gramps 3.2 Wiki Manual - Entering and Editing Data: Detailed|Gramps 3.2 Wiki Manual - GrampletsPlugin Manager|3.2}}
