What is a Gramplet
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 widgets that are part of Gramps and can be seen in the Dashboard Category, 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?
- Reports provide a static output format of your data, typically for presentation
- Quick View provides a typically short, interactive listing derived from your data
- Tools provide a method of processing your data
- Gramplets provide a dynamic view and interface to your data
When you first start the Dashboard Category you will see two default Gramplets; the Welcome to Gramps! Gramplet and the Top Surnames Gramplet.
Since Gramps 4.2 we have common and specific Gramplets according active view (navigation/category).
- Back references Gramplets are like the references tab on object Editor.
- Filter Gramplet is like the previous filter sidebar
- Common models for Notes, Gallery, Sources, Citations, Events
- Children Gramplet on Person views (also ancestry category and relations), family view
General Usage and Configuration
In Dashboard You can drag the Properties button (top left) of each Gramplet to move it around the Dashboard View area. You can click the Properties button to detach the Gramplet from 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 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 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 Dashboard 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 Dashboard Layouts > Number of Columns. You can also per added gramplet change its window dimensions and optionally other properties.
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 Dashboard Category allows you to change the display title.
Want Additional Gramplets To add more Gramplets follow the instructions on Third-Party Addons. Check the list of the available reports here. |
In addition, there are a number of Third party Gramplets that you can easily install and use. These include:
- Headline News Gramplet - current, breaking news from Gramps
- Data Entry Gramplet - edit active person's name, birth date and place, death date and place, and add people
- Python Gramplet - a Python shell
- FAQ Gramplet - frequently asked questions
- Note Gramplet - see and edit active person's primary Person Note
and many others. See Third-party Addons for more details.
Summary of Gramplets
Summary of all 34 default builtin Gramplets and the categories they can be used in.
Depending on the Category the Gramplets can be added or removed
- Via the right click context menu on the Dashboard Category.
- In all other Categories the dropdown menu's on either of the Bottombar or Sidebar.
No Menu option to add a Gramplet is available.

Quick View
The Quick View Gramplet allows you to run a Quick View, it updates as you move from person to person. (Currently, only People Quick Views can be run).
You can run any of the Quick Views for a person.
You can change the options by clicking the Option button (top, left hand button of the Gramplet) which will detach the Gramplet and bring it up an a window. Select Options on the top row, and a list of options will appear. Press Save to apply the changes to the Quick View. You may then close the window to reattach the Gramplet.
See the following developer information if you are interested in creating your own Making your own Quick view.
Records
The Records Gramplet shows a number of interesting facts about the records (mostly age related) from your database. The list shows the top three for each element.
- Person Records:
- Youngest living person
- Oldest living person
- Person died at youngest age
- Person died at oldest age
- Person married at youngest age
- Person married at oldest age
- Person divorced at youngest age
- Person divorced at oldest age
- Youngest father
- Youngest mother
- Oldest father
- Oldest mother
- Family Records
- Couple with most children
- Living couple married most recently
- Living couple married most long ago
- Shortest past marriage
- Longest past marriage
The list is not only interesting on its own, it is also a good sanity check of the data. For some items you have to fill in some additional information.
This following example shows that there was a marriage event (thus calculation of the offset) but none of the persons had a death event. Even if the date is not known, just enter a death event for one of the partners and the list will be corrected.
Living couple married most long ago
- van Dosselaere, Egidius and Rechters, Petronella (382 years, 1 month)
- de Richter, Petrus and Asscericx, Catharina (379 years, 9 months)
An identical Records Report is also available.

Relatives
This Gramplet shows all direct relatives of the active person. It's intended use is as a navigation help, an alternative way to move through your Gramps database. If you detach the Gramplet, and place it next to Gramps, it will allow you to use it to easily change the content of the current "person view".
If you are working in the ancestry views, the active person is the left-most person. By clicking a name in the relatives Gramplet, you can easily change the active person, and all person view in the other window will update. As the relatives Gramplet shows all spouses, all children and all parents, this offers an alternative way of navigating your data.
The names in this Gramplet also allow you to call up the person editor directly, by right-clicking on any of the names.
Residence

Session Log
The session log keeps track of activity in this session. It lists selected and edited objects.
Click a name once to make this person the active person. Double-click on a name or family brings up the edit page for that object. In addition, if you want to edit a person, but don't want to change the active person, you can right-click on the person's name.
This Gramplet is handy because you can very quickly change the active person, or edit the object, from the session list.
SoundEx
This Gramplet generates SoundEx codes for the names of people in the database.
From the SoundEx Gramplet window you can either choose a Name: from the list by shown by selecting the down \/ arrow, or you can type a name into the text field.
The name you type in can be any name even a name not present in your Family Tree.
The result is shown automatically eg:The SoundEx code for Simpson is S512
A Help button is available which brings you to this page. With the Close button (or using the keyboard shortcut Alt+C) you close the SoundEx Gramplet window.
Soundex what is this?
Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms which allow indexing of words by their sound, as pronounced in English.
The Soundex is a coded surname (last name) index based on the way a surname sounds rather than the way it is spelled. Surnames that sound the same, but are spelled differently, like SMITH and SMYTH, have the same code and are filed together. The Soundex coding system was developed so that you can find a surname even though it may have been recorded under various spellings.
First applied to the 1880 census, Soundex is a phonetic index, not a strictly alphabetical one. Its key feature is that it codes surnames (last names) based on the way a name sounds rather than on how it is spelled. It was to help researchers find a surname quickly even though it may have received different spellings.
Those doing census lookups must use the same method to encode surnames as the census takers did when they generated the database.
To search for a particular surname, you must first work out its code.
- Basic Soundex Coding Rule:
Every Soundex code consists of a letter and three numbers, such as W-252. The letter is always the first letter of the surname. The numbers are assigned to the remaining letters of the surname according to the Soundex guide shown below. Zeroes are added at the end if necessary to produce a four-character code. Additional letters are disregarded. Examples: Washington is coded W-252 (W, 2 for the S, 5 for the N, 2 for the G, remaining letters disregarded). Lee is coded L-000 (L, 000 added).
Number | Represents the Letters |
---|---|
1 | B, F, P, V |
2 | C, G, J, K, Q, S, X, Z |
3 | D, T |
4 | L |
5 | M, N |
6 | R |
Disregard the letters A, E, I, O, U, H, W, and Y.
- Additional Soundex Coding Rules:
- Names With Double Letters: If the surname has any double letters, they should be treated as one letter. For example:
- Gutierrez is coded G-362 (G, 3 for the T, 6 for the first R, second R ignored, 2 for the Z).
- Names with Letters Side-by-Side that have the Same Soundex Code Number: If the surname has different letters side-by-side that have the same number in the Soundex coding guide, they should be treated as one letter. Examples:
- Pfister is coded as P-236 (P, F ignored, 2 for the S, 3 for the T, 6 for the R).
- Jackson is coded as J-250 (J, 2 for the C, K ignored, S ignored, 5 for the N, 0 added).
- Tymczak is coded as T-522 (T, 5 for the M, 2 for the C, Z ignored, 2 for the K). Since the vowel "A" separates the Z and K, the K is coded.
- Names with Prefixes: If a surname has a prefix, such as Van, Con, De, Di, La, or Le, code both with and without the prefix because the surname might be listed under either code. Note, however, that Mc and Mac are not considered prefixes.For example, VanDeusen might be coded two ways:V-532 (V, 5 for N, 3 for D, 2 for S) or D-250 (D, 2 for the S, 5 for the N, 0 added).
- 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.
- Names With Double Letters: If the surname has any double letters, they should be treated as one letter. For example:
Please visit the NARA Soundex Indexing page to learn more about Soundex Indexing System.

To Do
The To Do Gramplet is free form text area. You can use this area to put some notes, remarks, things you should to get your research going. There are several other To Do programs (e.g. Tomboy e.a.) but these Gramplets are useful as the information stays within the Gramps database.
To Do Gramplets allow you to create notes and attach them to Gramps objects. For example, you can add a Person To Do Gramplet to the sidebar of the Person View. Notes added using this Gramplet will be attached to the currently active person. There is a To Do Gramplet for each Gramps primary object type.

Top Surnames
The Top Surnames Gramplet shows the top 10 (by default) used surnames.
The top ten is presented as follows:
- Surname
- percentage
- occurrences
The list gives you also the Total unique surnames in the database as well as the total number of people in your database.
Double-click a surname to run the Same Surnames Quick View. This opens the Quick View window, which gives the people with the surname you double-clicked.
A table is presented which shows all people with a matching name or alternate name. Person's name, ID, birth date and name type is given.
Change the number of names displayed by editing this section in ~/.gramps/gramps42/gramplets.ini
Welcome
The Welcome Gramplet gives an introductory message to new users, and some basic instructions.
The welcome message describes what Gramps is, that the program is Open Source Software and how you start a Family Tree.
This information can also be found on the start page of Gramps
What's Next
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 first and last name, birth date and place, and death date and place of each person
- You want to know father, mother, marriage date and place, and - if divorced - divorce date and place of each family with married parents
- 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 3 generations, 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.
The Gramplet can ignore previously verified events by making use of some custom Tags. The tags are selected 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 for shortening lists
