→Data Entry Gramplet
A new person can be automatically added as a relation to the active person. You can add the new person as a parent, spouse, sibling, or child. The gramplet will guess at the best place to add the person. For example, it will add the new person to the first family available. The gramplet will also try to discern gender where needed, guessing that the "father" spouse of a family is male, and the "mother" spouse is female. If these guesses are incorrect, you should add your new person via the normal GRAMPS data entry method.
If you would like to bring up the standard Edit Person window for the active person, simply click on the Edit button to the right of the Active person's name. If you would like to bring up the standard Edit Family window for the active person, click the Edit button to the right of the word "Family:" on the top row. This will bring up the first family (if the active person is the spouse in a family) or will bring up the active person's parents family, if known.
If you begin an edit of the active person, then the active person data won't change until you either '''Save''' or '''Abandon''' your changes.
