<para> Editing of any portion of data allows you to amend and
|

modify information stored in the database. The available editing
|
||||
options include editing personal data, relationship data, data about
|
||||
children and parents, information about sources, places, and media
|
||||
objects used in the database. In short, any data stored in the
|
||||
database can be edited! Adding new pieces of information is in fact
|
||||
creating an appropriate empty data structure and subsequent
|
||||
editing of that empty structure. </para>

<para> The top of the window shows the name of the person whose

data is being edited. The main part of the window displays nine
|
||||
notebook tabs containing different categories of available
|
||||
information. You can bring any tab to the top for viewing
|
||||
or editing by clicking on the appropriate tab heading.
|
||||
The bottom part has <guilabel>OK</guilabel> and
|
||||
<guibutton>Cance</guibutton> buttons. Clicking <guibutton>OK</guibutton>
|
||||
at any time will apply all the changes made in all tabs and close the

dialog window. Clicking <guilabel>Cancel</guilabel> at any time will
|

close the window without applying any changes. If any of the data
|
||||
in any tab was modified, the alert window will appear with the
|

choices of closing the dialog without saving changes, cancelling the

initial cancel request, or saving the changes.

<guilabel>General</guilabel> tab allows editing of
|
||||
the most general information about the person. This includes text
|
||||
entry fields of <guilabel>Given name</guilabel>,
|
||||
<guilabel>Family name</guilabel>, <guilabel>Family prefix</guilabel>
|
||||
(such as de or van), <guilabel>Suffix</guilabel> (e.g. Jr. or III),

<guilabel>Title</guilabel> (e.g. Dr. or Rev.),
|
||||
<guilabel>Nickname</guilabel> (Bob for Robert),
|

<guilabel>Type</guilabel> of the name (birth name, married name, etc.)
|
||||
and <guilabel>Date</guilabel> and <guilabel>Place</guilabel> of birth
|
||||
and death. Some of these (<guilabel>Family name</guilabel>,
|
||||
<guilabel>Type</guilabel>, and both <guilabel>Place</guilabel> fileds),
|
||||
in addition to typing the data in, allow to choose the corresponding
|
||||
contents from the drop-down menus by clicking on a down-arrow button
|
||||
located immediately to the right of the text entry field. The
|
||||
available menu choices are formed from the information already stored
|
||||
in the database. Also, when you start to type within these fields,
|
||||
<application>&app;</application> will try to guess the remainder of
|
||||
the text by using the same choices that are available from the
|
||||
corresponding menu. To accept the highlighted guess and move to

the next field, press <keycap>Tab</keycap>. </para>

<guilabel>female</guilabel>, and <guilabel>unknown</guilabel>.
|

The buttons <guibutton>Source...</guibutton> and
|
||||
<guibutton>Note...</guibutton> allow to add or modify the data about
|
||||
the sources of the name information and any notes relevant to it.
|
||||
Similarly, clicking <guibutton>Edit..</guibutton> buttons located by the
|
||||
birth and death <guilabel>Date</guilabel> fields allows to edit the
|
||||
corresponding events of birth and death.
|
||||
The field <guilabel>ID</guilabel> displays internal
|
||||
<application>&app;</application> ID number which identifies user in the
|

databse. Finally, the <guilabel>Image</guilabel> area shows the first

image available in the <guilabel>Gallery</guilabel> of this person.

alternate names of the person and the controls allowing its

modification. The bottom part displays the list of all alternate names

of the person stored in the database. The top part shows the details

of the currently selected name in the list (if any). The buttons

<guibutton>Add...</guibutton>, <guibutton>Edit...</guibutton>,
|

and <guibutton>Delete</guibutton> allow to correspondingly add,

modify, and remove an alternate name record from the database.

The two latter buttons become available only when an alternate name

is selected from the list.
