== Dashboard Category ==
[[Image:GrampletsView-40.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Gramplets Dashboard Category view]]
This contains the Dashboard, which shows a number of widgets, called Gramplets, that can help you in your research. Two Gramplets are shown on start-up (the Welcome and Top Surname Gramplets). By right-clicking on the Gramplet View, a popup comes up with the possibility of adding other Gramplets.
*To Do Gramplet - a notepad to keep tabs on your research
*Top Surnames Gramplet - top 10 most popular surnames
*Welcome Gramplet - a GRAMPS Gramps welcome message
*What's Next Gramplet - what needs to be done next
In addition, there are a number of additional Gramplets that you can easily install and use. These include:
*Headline News Gramplet - current, breaking news from GRAMPSGramps
*Data Entry Gramplet - edit active person's name, birth date and place, death date and place, and add people
*Python Gramplet - a Python shell

=== Filters ===
 
[[Image:SidebarFilter-40.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Filter Controls Displayed]]
 
Genealogical databases can contain information on many people, families, places, and objects. It is therefore possible for a View to contain a long list of data that is difficult to work with. Gramps gives you two different means for controlling this condition by allowing you to filter a list to a more manageable size.
 
These methods are '''Search''' and '''Filtering'''.
 
A search will search the text displayed in list, whereas filters display people whose data match the criteria of the filter.
Search is a simple but fast method of searching the columns displayed on the screen. Typing the characters into the Search box and clicking the {{man button|Find}} button will display only lines that match the text.
 
Alternatively, you can enable the {{man label|Filter sidebar}}, which will be displayed on the right hand side of the display. When the filter sidebar is displayed, the {{man label|Search bar}} is not displayed. The Filter side bar allows you to interactively build a set of filter rules that can be applied to the display. The filter is applied based on the rules and the data, not on the screen display.
 
{{-}}
 
{{man tip| Searching vs. Filtering |Searching only searches for exact text matches. If the date displayed is "Jan 1, 2000", a search of "1/1/2000" will fail, but a filter of "1/1/2000" will match.}}
 
When Gramps opens a database, no filtering is in effect. In People View, for example, all people in the database are listed by default.
 
=== Sorting columns ===
 
[[Image:Sortpeoplecolumn-40.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Sort Column]]
 
Clicking once sorts in ascending order, clicking again sorts in descending order. The {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog can be used to add, remove and rearrange the displayed columns.

== Relationships Category ==
[[Image:RelationshipsView-40.png|right|450px|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Relationships ViewCategory view]]
The Relationships View Category displays all the relationships of the Active Person (the selected person). Specifically, it shows his or her parents, siblings, spouses, and children.
The Relationships View Category is designed to allow for quick navigation. You can quickly change the Active Person simply by clicking the name of any person listed on the page. Each name is actually a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink hypertext link], similar to a web page.
The name of the Active Person is in '''bold''' style. Other names are shown either with or without '''''bold and italic''''' emphasis depending on whether certain relationships exist for the named person. For a person listed as a parent or spouse of the Active Person, the name is emphasized if that person has a parent family. For a person listed as a sibling or child of the Active Person, the name is emphasized if that person has children.
Dates are normally in regular style, and in ''italic'' style if the displayed event is a fallback event, i.e., a substitute event for another missing event. That may be christening event for birth event, burial event for death event, etc.
The Relationships View Category displays the following sections:
*Active Person: At the top of the screen, name, ID, birth, and death information, calculated age of the Active Person is displayed. If a photo of the person is available, it is shown on the right hand side. Next to the person's name is a symbol indicating gender, and an {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button. Clicking the {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button will allow you to edit all of the person's individual information in an {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog.
=== Configuration ===
[[Image:ConfigureRelationshipsView-40.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Configure Relationships ViewCategory]]
You can configure the view from the display by calling up the {{man label|Configure}} dialog from the menu {{man menu|View -> Configure...}} or click on the toolbar {{man button|Configure View...}} button.
== Families Category ==
[[Image:FamiliesListView-40.png|right|500px|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Family List ViewCategory view]]
The Family Families List Category View displays a list of all families in the database(see Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#var:figure}}). From this view, you may add, edit, or delete families. The default display lists the ID, Father, Mother, Relationship and Marriage Date. Children cannot be displayed on the screen in this view.
{{-}}
{{man warn| Remove button |Unlike the Relationships ViewCategory, clicking the Remove button in this view will remove the family from the database. All people will remain, but all relationships between the people in the family will be removed.}}
== Charts Category ==
"Greyed-out" sub-menus indicate the absence of the data in the appropriate category. Similar to the children menu above, Childrens' and Parents' menus distinguish continuing lines from dead ends.
{{man tip|Screencasts|You can see videos for [[Media:Add_family_from_pedigree_viewAdd_family_from_pedigree_view_Gramps_3.2.5.ogg|adding]] or [[Media:Edit_family_from_pedigree_viewEdit family from pedigree view Gramps 3.2.5.ogg|editing]] a family (parents, children, siblings) from Pedigree View.}}
{{-}}
You can rotate the view by click and drag outside the fan chart. You can move the view by click and drag inside the inner (white) region.
'''Coming New in version 4.0:'''
#The view can be a circle, a halfcircle or a quadrant of a circle. The last are always attached to the bottom or side of the view
