;<span id="active_personactive person">Active Person</span>: (''core concept'') - The person designated (or 'selected') as the momentary center of focus in the open Gramps database. The perspective of this person defines the context for actions and for displaying all the surrounding information. Changing this focus is done by [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Setting_the_Active_Person|navigating the Active Person]] selection to another person.
:The Active Person's relationship to the [[#home_person|Home Person]] defines the scope of the perspective.
:<abbr title="nota bene (singular), notate bene (plural) - Latin phrase meaning 'note well'">N.B.</abbr>: There is ''always'' an Active Person selection, even when the [[#primary_object|primary object]] (<abbr title="also known as — abbreviation used to indicate another name that a person/thing has/uses">''aka''</abbr> record) selected in the current view is not a 'Person' [[#object|object]].
;<span id="aide">Aide</span>: (''[[#event_role|event role]]'') A term to refer to the role of an assistant.

If an immigrant (or their descendant) adopts a naturalized variation of their birth name, that [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Preferred_name_section|preferred alias]] can be added with an ''Also Known As'' [[Names_in_Gramps#Name_Types|name type]] in the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Names|Names]] tab. All aliases can be categorized by type and surname variants may be [[Grouping_Surnames|grouped]] with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_3#Name_Editor|Name Editor]].
;[[File:Gramps-event.png|right]]<span id="event">Event</span>: ({{icon|even}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]]'') - Contains the information related to an happening. [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_information_about_events|Adding an Event record]] provides the context of an interaction of the roles of People/Families, dates & places in activities.<br />An Event is a defining moment in a person's life. See [[events in Gramps|events]] for the use in genealogy, for predefined events in Gramps and suggested naming for [[Events_in_Gramps|common events]].
;<span id="event_roleeven role">event role</span>: The [[#role|role]] a [[#person|Person]] plays in an [[#Event|Event]]. The focal Person(s) holds a [[#primary|'''''Primary role''''']] in personal Events and the Family holds a [[#family_role|'''''Family role''''']] in Family events. In Gramps, an Event can be linked to as many participants as desired. Each [[#person|Person]] may participate in different roles but more than one Person might play the same role. The Event Role captures this and can be changed in the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Event_Reference_Editor_dialog|Event Reference Editor]]. Some common Roles are pre-defined but the user can add other [[#custom|custom]] Roles by just typing in the appropriate new label into the [[#selector_combo_box|selector combo box]].

;<span id="event_typeevent type">event type</span>: The general denominator to which an event belongs, <abbr title="exempli gratia - Latin phrase meaning 'for example'">e.g.</abbr>, a christian, civil, tibetan, ... marriage, are all denoted by the event type ''marriage''. See [[events in Gramps]] for an overview.
==F==
;<span id="family">Family</span>:
#[[File:Gramps-family.png|right]]'''Family''' ({{icon|fami}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]]'') - Contains the information specific to relationships between people. The information may be edited directly using the {{man label|[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Editing_information_about_relationships|Edit Family]]}} dialog.<br />This traditionally contains one or two parents and zero or more children. A family unit is created in Gramps by [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_brief#Specifying_a_relationship_using_the_Relationship_View|adding Parents to an individual]], by [[Add_a_spouse|adding a partner/spouse]] to an individual, or by adding a family first then adding the people. (A family can even consist of just the offspring.)<br />The Family relationship is a core concept in Gramps. It depicts the basic relations between people. Commonly this will contain a father, a mother and some children, however, it can also contain only parts of this (<abbr title="exempli gratia - Latin phrase meaning 'for example'">e.g.</abbr>, two brothers, a mother and child). People can be part of several families (adoption, remarried, ...)
#'''<span id="family_rolefamily role">Family</span>''' (''[[#event_role|event role]]'') An event can be coupled to a family, denoting that the both partners were equally involved in the event. Typically, the Marriage event will be coupled to a family with event role ''family''. '''Family''' is the ''default'' role when adding a new Event in the [[#edit_family|Edit Family]] dialog.
;<span id="file_chooserfile chooser"><span id="gtk_file_choosergtk file chooser">File Chooser</span></span>:
:Picking external files or folders for import, export, reports and media is done using a File Chooser dialog from [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK] (formerly known as "GIMP ToolKit" and "GTK+") rather than those of the native Operating System. While generally familiar, the '''[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#File_Chooser|GTK File Chooser]]''' has customizable features, [[#context menu|context menus]], options and keybindings that are documented in the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings|Settings]] section of the manual.

;<span id="gramps">Gramps for Desktops</span>: [https://gramps-project.org/blog/features/ Gramps] is an open-source genealogy application, a free software project and community. <br />'''Gramps''' is an affectionate nickname for a "Grandfather". Originally, the all capital letter [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym backronym] stood for "'''G'''enealogical '''R'''esearch and '''A'''nalysis '''M'''anagement '''P'''rogramming '''S'''ystem" and was coined by Larry Allingham. ([https://gramps-project.org/blog/2006/04/looking-back-over-5-years/ GRAMPS was created around 2001] by [[User:Don|Don Allingham]] for use by his father, Larry.) This backronym was phased out around March 2010 in favor of '''Gramps''' as the official name of the software. All upper-case acronym-based names have become unfashionable for software.''
;<span id="grampsweb"><span id="gramps_webgramps web">Gramps Web for Servers</span></span>: [https://gramps-project.org/blog/web/ Gramps Web] is collaborative interface (frontend) and backend created by David M. Straub for running the Gramps genealogy database engine on servers. It is one of the [[Web_Solutions_for_Gramps|Web Solutions for Gramps]].<br />It is a multi-user system genealogical web application with different levels of options for Visitors, Members, Contributors, Editors, and Owners. Trees in [[https://www.grampsweb.org Gramps Web on a server]] can be synchronized with the more mature and feature laden [[#gramps|Gramps for Desktops]]. Single Tree or multiple Tree sites can be self-managed on a hosted service from an ISP, leased from a managed hosting ISP, or leased from an application-specific fully managed CMS provider, or installed locally for access from a local area network.

[[File:Gramps Go-Home48x48 win.png|right]]
;<span id="home_personhome person">Home Person</span>: (''core concept'') - The persistently designated '''Home Person''' is the foundational [[#person|Person]] (the [[Genealogy_Glossary#proband|Proband]], [[Genealogy_Glossary#progenitor|Progenitor]], or [[Genealogy_Glossary#progenitrix|Progenitrix]]) in the Tree (the currently open Gramps database). This Person is the central target of genealogical research and family references extend from this center. Ideally, every person, event and source in the Tree will (however directly or indirectly) relate back to the '''Home Person'''.<br />By default, the database reports describe everything else in contextual relation to this person. The [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Status_Bar_and_Progress_Bar|Status Bar]], the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Quick_View|Quick View]] called "[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_8#Relation_to_Home_Person|Relation to Home Person]]", and the Third party addon [[#gramplet|Gramplet]] called "[[Addon:Deep_Connections_Gramplet|Deep Connections]]" all describe different aspects of the relationship of the [[#active_person|Active Person]] to the '''Home Person'''.<br />You (or your client) are customarily designated ([[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Setting_Home_person|set]]) as the Home Person. And this ''Home'' designation serves as a persistent point of reference for the rest of the Tree in Reports generally and for the Active Person in detail. But a different '''Home Person''' might be temporarily [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Setting_Home_person|set]] when generating reports or when researching a complex biography or obituary. <Br />Fascinating tidbits often lure Gramps researchers into wandering off-course. When the [[#active_person|Active Person]] has become lost, the bearings can be instantly regained by navigating the [[#active_person|Active Person]] selection back to the '''Home Person'''.<br /><small>Navigate to '''Home Person''' - ''keyboard shortcut''</small> {{man key press|Alt|Home}} or press the toolbar <!-- broken icon {{icon|thom}}-->[[File:Gramps_Go-Home48x48 win.png|text-bottom|20px]]{{man button|Home}} button. <br />The custom filter rule for finding the '''Home Person''' is in a People category filter under the General filters and was named 'Default person' until the 5.1 version.

;<span id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</span>: Additional software required to make certain features of Gramps work and or some [[:Category:Prerequisites|addons]].
;<span id="primary_objectprimary object">Primary object</span>: Primary objects are the [[Using_database_API|data structures]] at the top level of a [[Gramps_Data_Model|hierarchical collection of records]] in the Gramps [[Gramps_Data_Model|data model]]. Beside the main structure of data, they can contain a hierarchy of [[#secondary_object|secondary objects]], and can be referenced by other primary or secondary objects. In the Gramps database, primary objects and the secondary objects that they contain are stored as separate records. Each primary object type is stored in a separate table. See [[Using_database_API#Primary_Objects|Using database API, Primary Objects]] (see also ''[[#secondary_object|secondary object]]'')
: The types of [[Using_database_API#Primary_Objects|primary objects]] are: <br />{{icon|cite}} [[#citation|Citation]], {{icon|even}} [[#event|Event]], {{icon|fami}} [[#family|Family]], {{icon|medi}} [[#media|Media]], {{icon|note}} [[#note|Note]], {{icon|peop}} [[#person|Person]], {{icon|plac}} [[#place|Place]], {{icon|repo}} [[#repository|Repository]], {{icon|sour34}} [[#source|Source]], [[File:16x16-gramps-tag.png]] [[#tag|Tag]].
<!--
;<span id="primary">Primary role</span>: (''[[#event_role|event role]]'') A term to refer to the [[#role|role]] of the focal participant of an [[#event|Event]]. '''Primary''' is the ''default'' role when adding a new Event in the [[#edit_person|Edit Person]] dialog.
;[[File:gramps-lock.png|right]]<span id="private"><span id="private_tagprivate tag">Private flag or tag</span></span>:
: The Private option identifies sensitive information that should be redacted when sharing data or printing reports. ''(This marker should not be confused with the generic user-definable [[#tag|Tags]] used for custom filters and color highlighting.)'' Records are shown with: a [[File:22x22-gramps-lock.png]]locked padlock when private; and, an [[File:22x22-gramps-unlock.png]]unlocked padlock when public. Clicking the padlock icon toggles between Private & Public flags. This manual override supplements the automated [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Probably_Alive|Probably Alive]] and custom [[Filter|Filter]] features which help Gramps to respect Personal Privacy.
:Gramps is a single user database and omits the typical security features of a multi-user system. So even "Private" data will be accessible from within Gramps. However, generating reports and exporting data default to redacting information flagged as Private.
;[[File:gramps-unlock.png|right]]<span id="public"><span id="public_tagpublic tag">Public tag or flag</span></span>:
: The Public option identifies information that should be included when sharing data or printing reports. Records are shown with: a [[File:22x22-gramps-unlock.png]]unlocked padlock when public; and, an [[File:22x22-gramps-lock.png]]locked padlock when private. Clicking the padlock icon toggles between Public & Private flags. By default, all records are created as Public.
;<span id="reference">Reference</span>: the basic a system of linking relationships between objects in Gramps. When when an object is added in the Editor for record, a [[References#definition|Reference]] (link) is created in the object that was added.
;[[File:Gramps-relation.png|right]]<span id="references_tabreferences tab">References tab</span>: a system of linking between objects in Gramps. When objects of Gramps are linked, the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#References|References tab]] lists the objects to link toward it.
;<span id="regex">Regular Expressions</span>: [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Regular_Expressions|RegEx]] is a system to specify a text string pattern for comparing and matching. Optionally used to extend a power of the Filter Gramplets and Custom Filters rules.
==S==
;<span id="secondary_objectsecondary object">secondary object</span>: Secondary objects are contained within other [[#object|objects]] of the structured Gramps [[Gramps_Data_Model|data model]], and cannot be referenced directly. They can contain other secondary objects. Examples include: Name, Date and Address. See [[Using_database_API#Secondary_Objects|Using database API, Secondary Objects]] (see also ''[[#primary_object|primary object]]'')
;<span id="selector_combo_boxselector combo box">Selector combo box</span>: ''([[#gui|graphical user interface terminology]])'' - a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Selector_Combo_Boxes|standard text entry box paired with pull-down list button]] is a [https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/visual_index.html Gtk toolbox widget] (based on the standard [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Combo_box combo box]). The combination of a drop-down list and a single-line editable textbox allows the user to: either key in a value directly; or, select a value from the list. Moreover, keying in a value that is not already in the list will add that [[#custom|custom type]] to the drop-down list.
;<span id="sharing">Shared objects</span>: {{icon|share}}Sharing allows an Object to be linked at multiple places in the tree. Doing so establishes a relationship or maintains single set of attributes (or [[#secondary_object|secondary objects]]) that they hold in common. ([[#role|Roles]] for shared Events define the person or family participation level.)
;<span id="sqlite">SQLite</span>: (''[[Database_Backends|database backend]] engine'') The [https://sqlite.org/about.html SQLite project's in-process library] (also known simply as SQLite) is the ''default database engine'' used since the [[Database_Formats#Gramps_5.1|5.1]] version of Gramps. The support was extended from [[#bsddb|BSDDB]] in the 5.0 version via the [[DB-API_Database_Backend|DB-API Database Backend]].
;<span id="swatch"><span id="color_swatchcolor swatch">Swatch</span></span>: ''([[#gui|graphical user interface terminology]])'' - a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Pick_a_Color_selector|color swatch]] is a sample square of a color or color pattern. Swatches may be dragged from the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Pick_a_Color_selector|Pick a Color selector]] to apply that specific color to preferences.
:The word originally referred to sample pieces of cloth or fabric used for choosing or testing colors, patterns, or textures for interior or exterior design. It now means any small sample or representation of a larger whole and is commonly usage in the context of color representation and selection in software applications.
:Any Unknown [[#event_role|Event Role]] type causes a variety of reporting problems. [[Addon:Rule_expansions#People_with_events_with_a_selected_role|(Rule_expansions)Persons and Families with Unknown Roles]] should be found and the Roles manually replaced as soon as is practical.
;<span id="user_directoryuser directory">User Directory</span>: (''core concept'') An alias for the file folder (directory) location where customizations (<abbr title="exempli gratia - Latin phrase meaning 'for example'">e.g.</abbr>: preferences files, [[#addon|addons]], [[#plugin|plugins]]) are stored for the Gramps family of genealogy tools. Since this folder location varies by which Operating System and which Gramps fork has been installed, the '''User Directory''' is an 'alias' (a.k.a. placeholder) used in instructions about re-configuring Gramps. <br />This alias allows [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory|instructions for locating your specific '''User Directory''' file location]] to be consolidated in the documentation.
