Working with directories of persons

Opinion

Each line lists one person. Married individuals have their spouses shown indented below.

If the mouse pointer hovers over an entry, a notification window opens and displays more detailed biographical data about the person, if available.

Menu bar

Left-clicking the person icon with the plus sign above the list creates a new person . Left-clicking the family icon with the plus sign creates a family group with a father and mother as new members and links them in one step.

You can use the magnifying glass to search for people in the directory, with the input form pre-filled with the search terms from the previous search query.

Functions involving people

If you right-click on a person in the tree view of the AGS Navigator, you can select the following functions from the context menu:

Open : the person's file card is opened. Delete : the person will be irrevocably deleted. Evaluations : create a person-based evaluation Plausibility check : Conduct a plausibility check for the person. Duplicate check : Perform a duplicate check for the person 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).

Copying and moving people

If you drag the person while holding down the Ctrl key, they will be copied to the other directory. The person will then be present in both this and the other directory.

This also works with multiple people by first selecting them: clicking with the left mouse button while holding down the Ctrl key selects individual people, and clicking the first and last person in a row with the left mouse button while holding down the Shift key selects all people in between. The latter can even be combined with individual selection.

If you copy or move one or more people to a person directory in another file in this way, the people will be copied to the other file ( Omega transfer ).

Quick search

Within the same last name, you can also search for a first name by typing the first name (just the beginning) after the complete last name (separated by a comma if necessary). For example, entering RICK will find RICK, Adam or RICKMEYER, Adam if no name RICK is found in the directory. RICKMEYER, G will advance the search to RICKMEYER, Georg .

Searching for ? (question mark) will take you to the end of the directory, where people without a last name are listed with NN .

Case sensitivity is ignored except for surnames in special situations: if the first letter of the same surname is lowercase and then followed by an uppercase letter, the first part is assumed to be a prefix. Entering "Kneip" and "kneip" will both find "Kneip" , entering " de_Haen " will find "de_Haen" , and entering " de_haen" will find "Dehaen " but not "de_Haen ".

If you add a number to the end of the search, the system will search for the first person with that name who is listed according to the entered year or date.

Examples of entries in the quick search field:

• RICK, G
• rick g
• Schmitt Anna 1800
• Peter
• ?,Peter
• Carl von Aachen
• mueller, peter, 17801202

In directories of persons sorted by Kekulé number , you can search for the Kekulé number in the quick search field.
