People View Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page The People view displays a list of the names of all the people in the database, along with a customizable set of fields. If desired you can choose to show or hide the alternates names by checking the Show alternate names checkbox (checked by default to show the alternate names.)

The default fields are sex, rec# (Record number), birth date and place and death date and place.

The fields are displayed in separate, resizable columns. You can change the width of the columns by clicking on the bar in the title bar and moving the bar to the left or right. If the width of the data is too wide to fit on the screen, the portion visible is indicated in the scroll bar that will appear at the bottom of the table. You can use the scroll bar, or the left and right arrow keys, to view data that is outside the window. However, the name field does not scroll so you can always see which person the data belongs.

Click on the Customize this view button to add or change the fields displayed.

By default the People view will display everyone in the database. You can click the drop list above the people list to filter that list by any named group. You can create just about any filter you can think of.

You can edit any person by either double clicking your mouse on their name in the list.
