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.

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 - 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.

=== 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.

** '''Horizontal (→)'''(default)
