The following sections provide a brief description of each category and the view modes within.
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.
Two Gramplets are shown by default on start-up (the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Top_Surnames|Top Surname]] and [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Welcome|Welcome to Gramps!]] Gramplets) in two column configuration. (The number of columns can be changed with the [[#Gramplet_Layout|Gramplet layout]] "Configure" controls provided in the toolbar and view menu.)The Sidebar and Bottombar are not available on the Dashboard.
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.
Use the {{man button|Clear}} button to clear the search field.
Note on some reports the list is restricted until you select the {{man label|[] Show all}} check box.
