As long as any [[Gramps_Glossary#family_tree|Family Tree]] database is open, Gramps is focused on a single person usually referred to as an [[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active Person]]. This allows you to view or modify the data concerning this person, his or her immediate family, etc. [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Setting_the_Active_Person|Navigating in the Family Tree]] database (i.e. moving from person to person) is in fact nothing else but changing the Active Person.

When in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Families_Category|Families Category]], you can easily navigate between the displayed families.

== Using the Charts [[File:22x22-gramps-pedigree.png]] Category ==

Gramps relies heavily on form-based layouts of linked list items. These imply relationships between records in your family Tree. The '''Charts Category''' provides an alternative, more visual, way of representing those relationships. The positions, shapes, and colors of containers along with their connecting lines & arrows can show an extra depth of interrelation with different factors. Containers can be simple color filled boxes, arcs, ribbons, or many other shapes.

However, hotlinked names in the References tab and Notes (and in some Gramplets) will merely open the Person Editor window ''without'' navigating the Active Person focus to that Person. (These links behave as though you had clicked an {{icon|stock_edit}}{{man button|Edit}} button instead of a hotlinked name.) This facilitates quickly editing Persons around the Active Person without the disorientation of a shifting focus.

The Active Person focus can be set while in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Edit_Person_dialog|Edit Person dialog]] by using the context menu (right-clicking) in the empty space of the header area. The {{Man menu|Make Active Person}} option in that context menu changes the Active Person focus to the Person being edited.

=== Using history-based Navigation ===

Gramps also features a powerful set of history-based navigation tools. These tools are similar to those commonly used in web browsers.
