Persons table

In Persons table you can use search and navigation, sorting, filters. The table can be saved and printed out. You can also get statistics.

Besides, it allows to create, edit and delete a person, to get information about a person, build a family tree and a lineage list.

How to create a person

The menu Create allows to create a new person related to the active person:
Create person menu

Father and Mother are active only if they haven't been created for the current (active) person yet. Brother and Sister are active only if the active person has a mother or a father (or both). A person of unknown sex cannot have a child, even an adopted one.
Attention! Actions in Create menu lead to the creation of a new person. To create a connection between the selected person and one of the previously created persons, you need to use the abilities of the person editing window. In the person editing window, create or edit an appropriate event, for example, for a divorced partner create a “Divorce” event, add the “Ex-wife” role and specify the appropriate woman by selecting her from the table. To specify parents from already created persons: in the person editing window, click “Father: not specified” and select a man from the table. If a couple has a child, then program will suggest the child's father as a husband when creating a husband to a woman. It works similar with creating a wife - when a couple has a common child, it is possible to choose an existing woman (child's mother) instead of creating a new wife.

How to edit a person

On the Information tab of the person edit window there is some main information about a person:
Person edit window

All information is divided into several groups:

  • Photo. This is the person's main photo. The button in the right upper corner of the photo opens the menu of actions connected to the photo. You can choose a photo from a file, in this case a new document is created and then set as the person's main photo. You can as well choose an existing document (a photo) connected to the person (from the list). No photo clears the main photo window, this action does not delete the document that was used before clearing.
  • Data group under the photo. Sex can be changed only if it does not contradict the events where this person participates. For example, if a woman participates in Birth event as a mother, her sex cannot be changed. If the person does not have any children created, No children option is active, you can turn it on. If at least one child is created, the option is changed to has children and becomes inactive. Levels of confidentiality and authenticity are set at your discretion.
