<div>A collection of examples of filters. <br />
<br />
[[Category:GRAMPS Examples]]<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
For more info, see [[Filter]].<br />
To test the filters, make sure you have the Filter sidebar visible (you can select this in the View menu), and select the custom filter you made, before clicking on Find.<br />
<br />
== Example: All female descendants of Joan Doe==<br />
=== Simple implementation ===<br />
The following does exactly what is asked:<br />
*In the Edit view, go to Joan Doe, and note the GRAMPS ID.<br />
*In the View menu, select ''Person Filter Editor''<br />
*Click on ''Add a New Filter''. In the Define filter dialog, give the filter the name ''Female descendants of Joan Doe''<br />
*Next to the rule list, click on ''Add another rule to the filter'', which opens the ''Add Rule'' Dialog.<br />
*Go to Descendant filters, and select the rule ''Descendants of <person>''. Give as value the GRAMPS ID, and select the box ''include original person''<br />
*Click again on ''Add another rule'', and now go to ''General filters'', and select the rule ''females''<br />
*In the options section of the Define filter dialog, make sure ''all rules must apply'', is selected<br />
<br />
=== A variation: also return unknown sex ===<br />
You might want to add the people with unknown sex to the output. For this, you need to combine two filters:<br />
*Make a filter: ''female or unknown'', consisting of one general filter: ''males'', and in the options you select: ''return values that do not satisfy the filter rules''<br />
*Make a second filter: ''female or unknown descendants of Joan Doe'', with as rules ''Descendants of <person>'' where the value is the GRAMPS ID of Joand Doe, and as second rule the general filter ''People matching the <filter>'', with as value for <filter> ''female or unknown''<br />
*Again, in the Define filter dialog, ''all rules must apply'' must be checked<br />
<br />
=== Slightly different: only female line===<br />
In this case, you only want to see the female line, so a female child of a male descendants of Joan Doe should '''not''' be present. <br />
<br />
As far as I can tell, this is not possible in 2.2.6. You should do a feature request if you need this.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Example: All married males with family name containing rechter/richter==<br />
Three possibilities are given. Although one might be inclined to use one of the first two, the third filter, using the family object, is clearly the easiest, and most straightforward.<br />
=== Use the Marriage event ===<br />
* With Person Filter Editor, create a custom filter with name ''MarriageFamEventMale''. Add the rule 'People with Family <event>', event "Marriage". Next add the rule 'Males' <br />
* In the Filter dialog, make sure the option 'all rules must apply' is checked.<br />
* In the Filter sidebar, type in Name field: r<nowiki>[ei]</nowiki>chter, select Custom Filter: ''MarriageFamEventMale'', and check the box 'User regular expressions'. Click Find. <br />
<br />
=== Allow for relationship Married ===<br />
We adopt the previous filter, by also looking at relationship Married, even if no event marriage is present.<br />
* With Person Filter Editor, create a custom filter with name ''MarriedRelMale''. Add the rule ''People with the <relationships>'' to the filter, and select as value for relationship: Married. Next add the rule ''Males''. Make sure the option ''all rules must apply'' is checked<br />
* With Person Filter Editor, create a custom filter, name ''MarriedMale''. Add the rule ''People matching the <filter>'' twice, once with filter ''MarriageFamEventMale'', once with filter ''MarriedRelMale''.<br />
* Make sure that for this filter, the option ''at least one rule must apply'' is selected<br />
* In the Filter sidebar, type in Name field: r<nowiki>[ei]</nowiki>chter, set Gender: Male, Custom Filter: ''MarriedMale'', and check the box ''Use regular expressions''. Click Find. <br />
<br />
=== Use a Family filter instead ===<br />
Alternatively, one can find an answer to this query by looking in the Family list view at relationship Married, or event Marriage. <br />
* With Family Filter Editor, create custom filter, name ''MarriedFamily''. Add the rule ''Families with the <event>'', and set event to "Marriage". Next add the rule ''Family with relationship type'', with value ''Married''. <br />
* For the filter ''MarriedFamily'' select the option: ''at least one rule must apply''<br />
* In the Family List view, go to the Filter Sidebar, and type for father name ''r<nowiki>[ei]</nowiki>chter'', select as custom filter ''MarriedFamily'', and select the ''Use regular expressions'' checkbox, and click find.<br />
* Set the columns of the family view to only view the father (in the edit menu, select column editor).<br />
* Optional: The name of the father can be added to the custom filter with the rule 'Families with father with the <name>', however, in that case the name of the custom filter is better changed to eg. ''MarriedRechterFamily'', and in the rules with <name> no regular expressions can be used, making it not usefull to find variants like ''richter'' at the same time</div>Ggamauf
