{{out of date|need to check number of gramplets in gramps 4.1}}
Currently, the Quick View Gramplet doesn't remember which Quick View between Gramps sessions, so you'll have to reselect it when you restart Gramps. (This will be fixed in an upcoming version of Gramps {{bug|???}}).

==== Soundex what is this? ====
** Consonant Separators: If a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) separates two consonants that have the same Soundex code, the consonant to the right of the vowel is coded. Example:Tymczak is coded as T-522 (T, 5 for the M, 2 for the C, Z ignored (see "Side-by-Side" rule above), 2 for the K). Since the vowel "A" separates the Z and K, the K is coded. If "H" or "W" separate two consonants that have the same Soundex code, the consonant to the right of the vowel is not coded. Example: Ashcraft is coded A-261 (A, 2 for the S, C ignored, 6 for the R, 1 for the F). It is not coded A-226.
== Statistics Gramplet ==
== What's Next Gramplet ==
The What's Next Gramplet displays a list of the "most urgent" information gaps in your family tree. It is based on the following assumptions:
* You want to know at least the mother of each family with unmarried parents
* The closer the relationship to the main person, the more "urgent" the information gap is.
* The closer the common ancestor is from the main person, the more "urgent" the information is (e.g. nephews are considered more "urgent" than uncles, even though both have a distance of 3generations, because for nephews the common ancestor is father/mother, while for uncles, the common ancestor is grandfather/grandmother)
* Marriage data and personal data of the spouse is slightly less "urgent" than personal data of the directly related person
* Half brothers are less "urgent" than brothers
You may copy the text from inside of this Gramplet by selecting it and pasting into an empty document.
[[File:Whats next-configure dashboard-41.png|left|thumb|350px|Fig {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} What's Next Gramplets configuration options]]
The gramplet can ignore previously verified events by creating some custom Tags and configure the selecting them in the Gramplets configuration. For example you can tag the following to be ignored:
* that a person is complete
* that a family is complete
* that a person or family should be ignored
