Types of directories

Each file contains

four name directories , namely
- a surname directory ,
- a list of first names ,
- a directory of places , and
- a directory of professions and functions ,
and one or more lists of persons .

These appear below the entry for the file in the AGS Navigator. The preceding symbol indicates the respective content of the directory.

The order of the directories is as follows:

Last names
First names
places
Professions
All persons
Tagged people
Last seen people
All user-created person directories sorted according to the German telephone directory

List of directory contents

The entries in the directory selected in the tree view of the AGS navigator are listed in the detail view.

The bar below the list displays the number of entries and the sorting criteria. By default, the primary sorting criterion is a name. The directory is then sorted alphabetically by this name. Directories of persons can also be sorted by other criteria (see Sorting ).

Quick search field

Most directories also display a search input field (quick search field). For alphabetically sorted directories, enter a few letters here and press Enter to jump to the first entry that begins with those letters (e.g., F , fisc , or fischer mar ).

There are even more sophisticated quick search options in directories of people .

From the quick search field, you can use the Home ( Pos1 ), Ende ( Ende ), Bild↑ ( Page Up ), Bild↓ ( Page Down ), ↑ and ↓ keys to move through the directory entries.

Rename entry

To rename a surname, first name, place or profession, call up the Rename function from the context menu of the entry in the respective directory or click the entry with the left mouse button and then press the F2 key.

Sorting directories

Alphabetical sorting follows the sorting rules for German telephone directories. Umlauts ä, ö, ü and the sharp S (ß) are resolved to ae , oe , ue, and ss, respectively. Diacritics (e.g., accented letters) are treated like the corresponding letters of the alphabet (e.g., a for á). Special characters (e.g., underscores, hyphens, slashes), numbers, and spaces are ignored during sorting. The special rules described in the Sorting section also apply to the alphabetical sorting of surnames.
