Add HOW to add a custom type
These are example '''[[Gramps_Glossary#custom|custom types]] for Events''' that are currently used by some users to supplement the [[Events in Gramps|built-in Event types]].  Adding a new custom type is simple. Just type in a new identifier into the {{man label|Event type:}} box instead of selecting a Type from the pop-up menu. If the text doesn't ''exactly'' match an existing Type (including capitalization), then a custom Type is created. Use the [[Types_Cleanup_Tool|Types Cleanup Tool]] <small>(third party add-on)</small> to Rename (which can also merge) or delete (remove) a Custom Type. Because the reporting features that analyze data won't have the awareness of how to categorize such custom additions, they are not necessarily recommended nor an indicator of future features.
Some users have found some custom types to be useful starting points for tracking their particular interests. [[Report-writing_tutorial|Custom reports]] can be created as addons by anyone with basic Python scripting skills.
