{{#vardefine:figure|0}}
Genealogical information is very broad and can be extremely detailed. Displaying it poses a challenge that Gramps takes on by dividing and organizing the information into a series of Categories, each with their own Views. Each View displays a portion of the total information, selected according to a particular category. This will become clearer as we explore the different Categories.
== Categories of the Navigator ==
The different Categories of the Navigator: The navigator is located at the left of the window and allows selection of the different categories (See: Fig. ?.?)
*{{icon|gram}} '''Dashboard''': Displays different general purpose Gramplets, small widgets that can help in your genealogical research.
*{{icon|note}} '''Notes''': Displays the notes in the family tree.
The categories can contain several ways of presenting the data. Each specific way is called a View. Before we launch into For example:* Categories** View (1)** View (2) For each category you have a number of ways to switch between Views:# by selecting the relevant icon from the toolbar# from the menu {{man menu|View > ... }} # Via [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#List_Views|keyboard shortcuts]] See the shortcuts for ''Changes the view to view number 0/1/2/../9 in this view category'' The following sections provide a brief description of each View, letcategory and the view's first explain how to switch between Viewswithin.
== Dashboard Category ==
[[ImageFile:GrampletsViewDashboardCategoryView-40example-42.png|right|thumb|400px450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Dashboard Category view]]
This contains the {{icon|gram}} '''Dashboard''', which shows a number of widgets, called Gramplets, that can help you in your research. Two Gramplets are shown by default on start-up (the Welcome and Top Surname Gramplets). By right-clicking on the Gramplet View, a popup comes up with menu is shown that list the possibility of adding other possible Grampletsyou may add and use.

In addition, there are a number of additional Third party Gramplets that you can easily install and use. These include:
*Headline News Gramplet - current, breaking news from Gramps
*Note Gramplet - see and edit active person's primary Person Note
and many others. See [[Third-party PluginsAddons]] for more details.
For more detailed information on using the installed Gramplets, see [[Gramps 4.2 Wiki Manual - Gramplets|Gramplets]].

== Relationships Category ==
[[File:RelationshipsCategoryViewRelationships-41category-view-42.png|right|450px|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Relationships Category view]]
The Relationships Category shows the default {{man label|Relationships Category view}} which displays all the relationships of the Active Person (the selected person). Specifically, it shows his or her the parents, siblings, spouses, and childrenof that person.
The Relationships 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.
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.
{{-}}
===Relationships Category view===
The following sections are available:{{-}}==== Active Person ====
* At the top of the screen, name, ID, birth, and death information, as well as the calculated age of the Active Person is displayed.
* On the right hand side a photo of the person if available, will be shown. This photo shows the first image available in the {{man label|[[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Gallery|Gallery]]}} tab of this person (if any exist). You can click on the photo to open it in the default picture viewer.
* 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 the {{man label|[[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Edit_Person_dialog|Edit Person]]}} dialog.
==== Parents ====
The Parents section, displays the families in which the person is a child. Since it is possible for a person to have multiple sets of parents, it is possible to have several Parents sections.
You can control how much information is displayed may edit an existing parents by using the {{man menu|View}} menu. The view menu allows you to show or hide details (selecting the birth and death information) and to show or hide siblings. Next to each person listed is an {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} buttonnext to the parents. If you select the {{man button|-}} button next to a set of parents, which then the Active Person will allow you to edit all be removed as a child from the parents. This button does not delete the details of that particular personparents' relationship.
{{man warn| Warning |If you are not careful, it is possible to create multiple families with the same parents. This is rarely what the user wants to do. If you attempt to add a new family that has the same parents as an existing family, Gramps will issue a warning dialog. If you get this dialog, you should probably Cancel the edit, and then use the {{man button|Select}} button to select the existing family.-}}
==== Family ====
Similar to the Parents section is the Family section, which displays families where the Active Person is a parent. Because it is possible to have multiple families, it is possible to have multiple Family sections. Each family section displays the spouse and any children.
{{man note | Note |We use the terms father and mother for the sake of simplicity. Even if there are no children in a family, the father and mother terminology is still used. In the case of male/male or female/female relationships, the father and mother labels should be considered to be convenience labels.}}
{{-}}
Select the {{man button|Change order of parents families}} button to display the {{man label|[[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Reorder_Relationships_dialog|Reorder Relationships]]}} dialog that will allow you to reorder the families.
======Reorder Relationships dialog======
Select either the menu {{man menu|Edit > Reorder}} or the {{man button|Change order of parents families}} icon button to display the {{man label|Reorder Relationships}} dialog that will allow you to reorder the families. This option will only be enabled if more than one set of parents or more than one set of spouses exists for the Active Person.

===== All known places for one person =====
This view is not connected to filters. It only depend on the active person and the history.
If you want to use the animate functionality, click on the right button of the mouse. You'll get a popup menu.
If the active person has several related events, you can see a virtual move between those markers. The move is related to years or distance and can be modified in the person map preferences. If the distance between to markers is greater than a value in tenth of degree, we show moves depending on distance instead of years. In these case, the number of steps between these two markers can be modified. You can modify the animation speed between steps. The moves start at the first event year until the last event year.

====How to lock/unlock the map ?====
===Prerequisites to see the geography view===
For gramps Gramps 4.x, you need to install osmgpsmap version 1.0 and above and the associated gir package. For example on ubuntu, you must have : <code>gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 </code> and <code>libosmgpsmap-1.0-0</code>
===Possible problems===
#No view : do you have <code>osmgpsmap </code> installed ? (''<code>gramps -v</code>'' from the command line may help you)
#No tiles : do you have an internet connection active ?
#No tiles for one provider : if other providers are OK, file a bug
#Missing tiles : you have no internet connection and it's the first time you try to show the current place.
#Missing tiles : this can be the same as no tiles for one provider if they modify the access rules (i.e user-agent)
#Other : file [[Using_the_bug_tracker|Report a bug]] ===Geography Category Bottombar tabs=== The {{man label|Geography Category}} by default displays no Gramplets in the [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Bottombar_and_Sidebar|Bottombar]] tab. You may add them as required.

== Sources Category ==
The {{man label|Sources Category}} shows two views ({{man label|Citation Tree}} View and {{man label|Sources List}} View) that list the sources of certain information stored in the database.
Sources can include various documents (birth, death, and marriage certificates, etc.), books, films, journals, private diaries, - nearly anything that can provide genealogical evidence. Gramps gives you the option to provide a citation to a source for each event you record (births, deaths, marriages, etc.). The Sources View lists the {{man label|Title}} , {{man label|ID}} , and {{man label|Author}} of the source, as well as any {{man label|Publication}} information that may be associated with it.
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.
