<P
> The People View lists the individuals in the database. An
individual can be selected as the active person by clicking on
an entry in the list. Once a person has been selected as the
active person, the person's name appears in the status bar in
the lower left hand corner of the window.
</P

<P
> Once the active person has been selected, pressing the
<B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Edit Person</B
> button will display the
<SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Edit Person</SPAN
> dialog allowing you to edit
the individual's personal information. If the <B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Edit
Person</B
> button is pressed without an active person
being set, a blank <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Edit Person</SPAN
> dialog is
presented, allowing you to enter a new person.
</P

<P
> Double-clicking on a entry in the list will set the active
person and bring up the individual in the <SPAN

<P

the active person and all of the personal information related to
the active person are removed from the database.

the People View. When a filter is applied, the People View will
only display the entries matching the filter. All of the entries
remain in the database, but some entries may be temporarily hidden.
</P

<P
> There are up to three parts to a filter. The first part is the
selection of the filter to be applied. A filter is selected from
the option menu directly above the People View. The second part
is an optional argument. This qualifier provides more specific
information for the filter. Many filters do not require the
argument, and it will not be displayed if it is not needed. If
the argument is required, a text box with a descriptive label
will appear. The third part of the filter is the invert
selection. When this option is selected,
<TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GRAMPS</TT
> will display the entries that
do not match the filter.

NAME="AEN125">Sorting</H2

<P
> Four columns are shown in the People View display. The entries
in the list can be sorted by three of the fields: Name, Birth
Date, or Death Date. Clicking on the column label will cause
the list to be re-sorted by that column. Arrows on the label
indicate whether the list is sorted by ascending or descending
order.
</P
>
<P
> If the list is already sorted by a particular column, clicking
on the same column label will switch the sorting order. For
example, if the list is currently sorted in ascending order by
Name, clicking on the Name column header will re-sort the list
in descending order.
