A Gramps Gramplet is a view of data that either changes dynamically during the running of Gramps, or provides interactivity to your genealogical data. Gramplets are the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_engine widgets] that are part of Gramps and can be seen in the [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window_Categories#Gramplets_CategoryDashboard_Category|Gramplets Dashboard Category]], [[#Sidebar_and_bottombarGramplets_available_in_the_Sidebar_and_bottombar_of_other_Categories|Sidebars and Bottombars]] in other Navigator Categories, they provide all kinds of functionality that can be useful for the researcher.
What is the difference between gramplets, reports, quick views, and tools?
[[Image:GrampletDetached-40.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Detached Gramplets View]]
You can drag the Properties button (top left) of each Gramplet to move it around the Gramplet Dashboard View area. You can click the Properties button to detach the Gramplet from Gramplet Dashboard View and place it in its own window. The window will stay open regardless of page (relationship, ancestry, etc). Closing the detached view will put it back onto the Gramplets Dashboard view. If you quit Gramps with a open gramplet, when you start gramps again, it will open automatically.
When one or more Gramplets are undocked from the Gramplet Dashboard View, you can change to a different view (such as the People or Charts Views). In this way, you can use these gramplets to supplement a particular view with additional details and functionality provided by the gramplet.
You can add new gramplets by right clicking on an open space on GrampletsDashboard view.
You can also change the number of columns by changing a setting in ''configure the active view'' to open the ''Configure Gramplets'' window, to change the Gramplets Dashboard Layouts > Number of Columns.
If a link in a Gramplet is to a specific person, then clicking the link will change the Active Person. Double-clicking such any link to a specific Gramps item (such as person or family) will bring up the Editor for that item. To edit a linked person without changing the Active Person, right-click on the person link. Depending on the type of entry, double-clicking any row in a Quick View table will either select more specific data (drill down) or bring up the editor.
Double-clicking the title of a gramplet docked in the Gramplet Dashboard Category allows you to change the display title. {{man note|Changing settings Advanced|You can change the settings of the Gramplets by editing your '''~/.gramps/gramplets.ini''' file. But you can only do that when GRAMPS is not running. Just bring up the ''gramplets.ini'' file in a text editor and make the desired changes. You can change the title of the Gramplet by changing the section name (surrounded by square brackets). These options will be able to be changed via the Gramplet View in the next version of GRAMPS. If you have an idea for additional Gramplets, please let us know!}}
