*Date format: This option controls the display of dates. Several different formats are available, (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD (ISO)) which may be dependent on your locale.
*Age display precision(requires restart): '''Year'''(default) *Calendar on reports: This option controls the display of calendar on reports, tools, gramplets, views. Several different calendars are available (see [[Gramps_4.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data:_Detailed_-_part_1#Editing_dates|Date Edition]]). Two dates with two different calendars will not properly display timeline or periodeperiod, (e.g. by setting Gregorian calendar as default displayed calendar, users will have a better coherency for displaying dates on period).
*Surname Guessing: This option affects the initial family name of a child when he/she is added to the database. If {{man label|None}} is selected, no guessing will be attempted. Selecting {{man label|Father's surname}} will use the family name of the father. Selecting {{man label|Combination of mother's and father's surname}} will use the father's name followed by the mother's name. Finally, {{man label|Icelandic style}} will use the father's given name followed by the "sson" suffix (e.g. the son of Edwin will be guessed as Edwinsson).
