Place Name field
Variations and different spellings of a place may be recorded in the ''Alternative Names'' tab.
=== Place ''Place NameTitle'' field ===The first field in the Edit Place window is generally displayed where space is limited, such as in some graphical reports. Therefore some people like to put Gramps will populate this field for you from the place name and the names of all places higher in here a short descriptive namethe place hierarchy.
Other However, some people prefer this field like to be put in here a repeat of all the fields in the location tab in the bottom of the window. It can be listed either from the most specific, or the leastshort descriptive name. For example, for a location of ''Street'': Rundle Mall, ''City:'' Adelaide, ''State:'' South Australia, ''Country:'' Australia, ''Postal Code:'' 5000, different people would set the ''Place Name'' field to one of:
* Rundle Mall
There are, of course, also minor variations on those listed above.
 
Some people ensure the ''Place Name'' field has everything they want, and they leave the Location tab empty.
