Other settings
Besides {{man label|Preferences}} dialog, there are other settings available in GRAMPS. For various reasons they have been made more readily accessible, as listed below.
*===Column Editor: ===The columns of the list views may be added, removed, or reordered in a {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog, see ''column-editor-fig'' . Only checked columns will be shown in the view. To change their order, drag any column to its desired place inside the editor. Clicking {{man button|OK}} will reflect the changes in the appropriate view. To invoke {{man label|Column Editor }} dialog, choose ''' Edit ->Column Editor... ''' .
{{man tip|1=Column Editor|2=The {{man label|Column Editor}} is available and works in the same way for all list views. Specifically, it is available for People View, Family View (children list). Sources View, Places View, Media View, Repositories View and the Notes View.}}
*===Setting Home person: ===The Home person is the person who becomes active when database opened, when {{man button|Home}} button is clicked or the Home menu item is selected from either Go menu or the right-click context menu anywhere. The {{man button|Home}} button is available in the Toolbar in the People View, Relationships View, and Pedigree View.
To set Home person, make the desired person active and then choose ''' Edit ->Set Home person... ''' .
*===Adjusting viewing controls: ===Whether the toolbar, the sidebar, or the filter (not available on Pedigree and Relationships Views) are displayed in the main window is adjusted through the View menu.
In the different views clicking the {{man label|View}} menu will shows three boxes you can click:
*Sidebar
*Relationships: {{man label|Show Siblings}} and {{man label|Show Details}}
*All other Views: no other options
===Export the screen===
On most Views, displayed data could be exported, choose ''' File ->Export View... '''.
GRAMPS will export data on screen according your choice (''filter, columns'').
This is a powerful function (''no limitations''), like a report.
==Advanced manipulation of settings==
