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.
== People Category ==
The In the {{man label|People View lists Category}} the people stored in the database. {{man label|People are grouped according to their family names. To the left of each family name is typically either an arrow List view}} or some other type of indicator {{man label|Grouped People}}(eg: ''+''default). Clicking it once will reveal the entire views display a list of all people sharing that name. Clicking in the indicator again will "roll up" the list and show only the family namedatabaseBy defaultFrom this view, you may add, edit, remove, the People View or merge people. Each view (List, displays or Grouped) display several columns of information about each personby 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>.
