Select person (person selector)

If you want to select a parent, spouse , or child on the index card , the dialog for selecting a person (person selector) will appear:

The list on the left displays all directories of persons .

If the program can make suggestions for the selection, there is a directory called "Suggestions" containing people automatically suggested by the program. This directory is then also pre-selected by default.

The detailed view on the right lists all people in the directory selected on the left. You select a person by double-clicking with the left mouse button.

Up to three icons are displayed in the menu bar above the list of people: These are used to create and select a new person or a new person along with their parents. The gray icon removes a link or creates a link to an unknown person ( NN ).

In certain application situations, a tip is displayed above the details view indicating which person you should select here:

The context menu for a person in the detail view of a person selector contains the following entries:

  • Open : The person's record card opens for viewing with a greatly reduced range of functions.
  • Select : the person is selected (as with a double-click with the left mouse button)
  • Tagging : toggles the tagging of a person on or off and adds or removes the person from the "Tagged People" directory.
  • Add to... : adds the person to another directory (check box) or removes the person from a directory (uncheck box).
Close the window using the X symbol in the title bar if you want to cancel the selection process.
