The different Categories of the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Navigator|Navigator]]: The navigator is located at the left of the window and allows selection of the different categories.

*{{man label|{{icon|gram}} '''[[#Dashboard_Category|Dashboard]]'''}}: Displays different general purpose Gramplets, small widgets that can help in your genealogical research.

*{{man label|{{icon|note}} '''[[#Notes_Category|Notes]]'''}}: List of notes in the family tree.

[[File:Navigator-mode-selection-drop-down-51.png|284px|thumb|right|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Drop-Down_navigator_mode|Drop-Down navigator mode]] showing People Category view modes]]

For example:

* {{icon|peop}} '''People''' ''view category''

For each category you have a variety of ways to switch between View modes:

# Via the number-based [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#List_Views|keybindings]] (aka keyboard shortcuts) to ''Change the view mode to correspond to number key {{man key press|0}}/{{man key press|1}}/{{man key press|2}}/../{{man key press|9}} in this view category''

The following sections provide a brief description of each category and the view modes within.

== Dashboard Category ==

This contains the {{icon|gram}} '''Dashboard''', which shows a number of widgets, called [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#What_is_a_Gramplet|Gramplets]], that can help you in your research.

You can change the Gramplets on the Dashboard by using the context menu (right-clicking) on an empty area of the Dashboard View. This will show a pop-up menu to "{{man menu|Add a gramplet}}", populated with a list of the possible Gramplets you may add and use with this particular view. (Some Gramplets are only available in particular category views.) It is better to have a Family Tree open when changing out Gramplets. The added feedback of some tree data in the Gramplets will help make choices about configuring the layout.

===Tree View - Grouped People===

People are grouped according to their family names. To the left of each family name is typically either an arrow {{man button|▶}} or some other type of indicator (eg: ''+''). Clicking it once will reveal the entire list of people sharing that name. Clicking the indicator again will "roll up" the list and show only the family name.

===Tree View - People List View===<!-- keep as items link to this -->

List of all the people in the database, sorted by first column which by default is the {{man label|Name &#x25B4;}} column.

== Relationships Category ==

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 the parents, siblings, spouses, and children of that person.

The {{man label|Select Family}} selector dialog allows you to link to an already existing Family.

You may use the {{man button|Find}} button to filter the list based on one of the options from the drop down list:

* ''Last Change does not contain''

{{-}}

{{man warn| {{man button|Remove}} button |Unlike the Relationships Category, clicking the {{man button|Remove}} button in this view will remove the family from the database. All people will remain, but all relationships between the people in the family will be removed.}}

In the {{man label|Families Category}} the {{man label|Families List view}} displays a list of all families in the database(see Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#var:figure}}).

=== Pedigree View===

The {{man label|Pedigree}} View shows up to nine generations in the form of a chart, depending on the size of the window you may need to use the scroll bars to see parts of the chart.

** Expanded

* {{man label|Tree direction:}}

** '''Horizontal (→)'''(default)

* {{man label|Tree size:}} slider range 2 to 9 generations. Set to <code>5</code>(by default)

{{-}}

=== Fan Chart View ===

The {{man label|Fan Chart}} view shows the active persons ancestry as a pie chart. Clicking on a name in the chart will double the section of the pie allocated to that person. A second click brings the chart back to the original form. Right click brings up a context menu like in the pedigree view, allowing to navigate to other people.

=== Descendant Fan View ===

View showing the active person's direct descendants as a fan chart.

=== 2-Way Fan View ===
