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.
[[File:DashboardCategoryView-example-42.png|right|thumb|450px|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 menu is shown that list the possible Gramplets you may add and use.
*{{man label|Age Stats}} Gramplet - list age span statistics in a number of graphs
*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]].
== People Category ==
In the {{man label|People Category}} the {{man label|People List view}} or {{man label|Grouped People}}(default) views display a list of all people in the database. From this view, you may add, edit, remove, or merge people. Each view (List or Grouped) display several columns of information about each person by default the following columns are shown <code>Name, ID, Gender, Birth Date, Death Date</code> and by configuring the active view you may show/hide or change the order of additional columns from the following selection <code>Birth Place, Death Place, Spouse, Number of Parents, Number of Marriages, Number of Children, Number of To Do Notes, Private, Tags, Last Changed</code>.  See also* [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Using_the_People_Category|Using the People Category]]* [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Editing_information_about_people|Editing information about people]] {{man note|For Information displayed in the columns|Some of the column selection types require that the event being shown has the ''Role'' type of ''Primary'' eg Birth and Death Dates.

[[File:Relationships-category-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.

This category is for showing The {{man label|Geography Category}} shows place event data visually on a map. It contains the many Geographic ViewViews, which allows you to see the people and their events placed on a map via an internet map provider (OpenStreetMap, Google maps ...).
The following Geographic View canViews are available:* show Show all places in your family tree* show Show all places connected to the active person* show Show all places connected to the active family* show Show all places connected to all events* show Show all places connected to a filtered selection of events
* Show if two people have been able to meet
* Show if two families have been able to meet
* Show all displacements or moves for one person and their descendants
These options views are accessible via the buttons on the toolbar. To filter on places or events, activate the filter sidebar via the menu {{man menu|View->Filter Sidebar}}
To have these Geographic views working work correctly, you need to :* To have events related to places. * These places must have coordinates : latitude and longitude. * If one place has no coordinates, you it will never see it appear on the map. * If you have an active internet connection, for all moves on the map, all zoom ... all tile maps are saved. ** When you are without an internet connection, all tile maps are cached from the previous session and can be used. ** So, the map can be used without an internet connection and all already visited places can be shown again. ** The only thing to do is for each place or area you want to use without an internet connection is to select them, zoom into these places. You'll be able to use them again without connection.
