Feature - introduced in Gramps 4.1 |
Accessed from the Display tabs Place Format option.
This tab contains preferences relevant to how Places should be shown.
- Name: A unique name for the place format.
- Levels: The place names to be displayed.
Each level in the hierarchy is represented by a positive integer, starting with 0 for the selected place and increasing by 1 for each level up the hierarchy. The levels can also be represented by negative integers, starting with -1 for the top level (usually a country) and decreasing by 1 for each level lower in the hierarchy. In addition, the populated place (city, town, village or hamlet) is represented by the letter p; this can be used with an offset (e.g. p+1 or p-2).
The names to be displayed are defined as a comma-separated list of ranges. A range can either be a single level, or a start level and an end level separated by a colon. The start level must be less than the end level in a range. The start and end levels default to 0 and -1 if missing.

Although Gramps requests information about you, this information is used only so that Gramps can create valid GEDCOM output files. A valid GEDCOM file requires information about the file's creator. If you choose, you may leave the information empty, however none of your exported GEDCOM files will be valid.
The available text entry fields are (all blank by default):
- Name:
- Address:
- Locality:
- City:

Other settings
Besides 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 Column Editor dialog.
To use the Column Editor dialog for the current view, choose via the menu View ➡ Configure View..., click on Configure View... toolbar button or press the Configure active view keyboard keybinding.
Only columns with a selected checkbox will be shown in the view. You can also change the position of a column in the View by clicking and dragging it to a new position in the Editor (drag and drop). Once you have made the changes you want click Apply, then click OK to exit the Editor and see your changes in the View.
By default, the View List, displays several columns of information about the respective category. You can add or remove columns to and from the display
The default sort key for the view [always ascending] is the left-most field [i.e. at the top in the Column Editor], so changing which field is in that position affects default sorting.
The Column Editor dialog will have a different selection of columns for each category of View that displays a simple table.
Changes will only be enacted when the Apply button is clicked.
Once the View columns changes have been applied, clicking once on the column header sorts in ascending order, clicking again sorts in descending order.
The subset of columns and the current filters will also constrain the data exported via the Family Trees ➡ Export View... operation. Hidden columns and records will not be exported.
Sorting columns
By default, each Category View presenting data in a columnated table layout will sort the rows in ascending order based on the data in the first (left-most) column. If the table has grouped rows, the grouped data will be sub-sorted. (Tables in tabbed subsets of data, Editors and Selectors will work similarly.)
Click once on a different column header to sort on the data of that column in ascending order. Click the header again to sort in reverse order.
The Column Editor dialog can be used to add, remove and rearrange the displayed columns. Choosing a different first column will make that the new default sorting column of the view [though always ascending].
Ana kişiyi ayarlama
To set (designate) the Home person, select the People Category and select the desired person to make them into the Active Person and then choose Edit ->Set Home Person via the menus.
Alternately, when editing any Person, right-clicking on inactive areas (areas without a text-entry box) of the top section displays a pop-up menu which includes an option to Make Home Person of that profile.
The Home person is the persistently designated person who becomes the Active Person when one of the following occurs:
- By default, when the Family tree database is opened
(The General setting in Preferences can modify this default behavior. The "Remember last view displayed" will return to the last Active Person of the previous session.) - As the toolbar Home button is clicked
- When the Home menu item is selected from either the Go menu or the right-click context menu in selected views
- As the keybinding ALT+Home is pressed to return to the Home Person.
The toolbar Home button is available in the People Category, Relationships Category, and Pedigree Category.

Dışa Aktar Görünümü
On most Category List Views, displayed data maybe be exported, choose via the Family Trees ->Export View... menu command.
This Menu command only appears if the displayed data can be exported. Gramps will export data on screen according your choice: CSV or Open Document spreadsheet format.
Note that the current configuration of the View's columns will control what data will be exported. The export will contain only the displayed column data (in the same order) and be limited to records matching any filters you have applied.
Export View as Spreadsheet dialog
Gramps will then display the Export View as Spreadsheet dialog where after choosing a file location to save to and a name for your file; export data on from the Category List View in one of two spreadsheet formats:
- CSV (default)
- OpenDocument Spreadsheet - ODS format.
The example screenshot shows an export to the OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS format) displayed as a Spreadsheet in Libreoffice Calc.
Modularity and plugins
Gramps has been designed for expansion. The Plugin (a.k.a. Plug-in, Addon, extension) framework provides a path for 3rd party development outside the normal Gramps release distributions.
The documentation for each addon is maintained outside the flow of these main wiki chapters. The interface & functionality of the software & documentation may not conform with the styles seen throughout the rest of Gramps... although we encourage Developers to try to make their additions as seamless as possible.
A brief description & screenshot of each addon can be found in the Addon List section of the wiki manual. The separately maintained documentation page for the addon is linked from the 1st column of that list.
See Plugin Manager and Third-Party Addons.
Customize report output formats
What kind of output customization is available? This dialog allows you to change the fonts, font sizes, font color, background color of the text and alignment of paragraphs on the report.
For most report dialogs, in the top part are option tabs specifically related that particular report. The lower part will have more broadly reusable features and is called the Document Options section.
From the Style: drop down list you can choose an existing custom style. Or to make your own Style: select the Style Editor... button to show the Document Styles dialog and then select the Add a new style button to show the Style editor dialog.

Customizing
Here are some ways that you can customize Gramps.
Preferences
See Preferences
Language
Gramps has been translated into a number of languages. Usually Gramps automatically starts in your local language, as chosen for other applications, but sometimes this may not be right for you. And in other cases, a module or addon will not yet have been translated and a warning dialog will appear saying something like “Warning: plugin XYZ has no translation for any of your configured languages, using US English instead”. (Note that the US dialect of English is the default rather than British.) This can become annoying or intrusive.
The most idealistic situation is that you are as facile in US English as the language selected for the operating system GUI on your computer. And that you would take the opportunity to translate that Gramps feature for users who are non-English speakers.
If your system is configured to show a language other then English, you can override this for Gramps.
As an example, assume that a computer in the Netherlands is configured to default to Unicode 8 Dutch: "LANG: nl_NL.UTF-8". You could either reset the OS language
In Windows, use the SET command to rest the LAN env variable to "en_GB.UTF-8" for British English. You can do this from the command line interface or create a startup shortcut with the following Target:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 && START /D ^"C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.2.3^" gramps.exe"
This article's content is incomplete or a placeholder stub. |
tbd Describe for each main platform how the normal language is determined and how the user can choose a different language. |
Linux
This article's content is incomplete or a placeholder stub. |
If you want to choose a locale 'variant' for sorting that is not the default variant, then you can start Gramps from the terminal (or console) with a different LC_COLLATE environment. For example, the default sorting (collation) variant for Swedish is "reformed", but you can instead choose "standard" by typing:
export LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.UTF-8@collation=standard" python Gramps.py
Mac OS X
For Mac OS X see Advanced setup for details on how the language is normally chosen, and how to choose a special, non-default setting for the language, the sorting order or the format of such things as day and month names and number separators.
MS Windows
If you want to run Gramps in another language other than English using the Gramps AIO installer, then you must select it during installation process.
Otherwise it will not be available.
More information can be found at Download#MS_Windows page.
Add Windows OS Menu Item

Advanced backup filename setting
You can also define the naming pattern for the backup filename by setting the paths.quick-backup-filename
in the ~/.gramps/gramps51/gramps.ini
key file like the following:
[paths] ;;quick-backup-filename='%(filename)s_%(year)d-%(month)02d-%(day)02d.%(extension)s'
by removing the two semicolons(;;
) from the front of INI key line and using use any of the following keywords for the filenam pattern:
- filename
- year
- month
- day
- hour
- minutes
- seconds
- extension :
- .gpkg(default) if you include media.
- .gramps if you exclude media.
Use the appropriate ~/.gramps/gramps{XX}/gramps.ini key file.
- Gramps version 5.2 :
~/.gramps/gramps51/gramps.ini
