Genbox Family History

A simple and consistent design makes viewing and entering your data easy to learn and a pleasure to use. Data is arranged onto a number of views, a different view for each type of data (individual, places, sources, media, etc.). On each view, data for one main record is presented at a time. The record ID and name of the record appear in a header area across the top of the view.

Data entry fields are thoughtfully organized onto multiple tabs beneath the header. By simply clicking through the tabs, all data for the current record can be viewed and edited. There are no additional windows that you need to open in order to see all of the data or to edit the current record.

Related data presented in different views and tab pages is linked together and can easily be reached. A double-click on a selected field is all it takes to jump to associated data on another window or page, and back/forward arrows on the common toolbar will help you navigate among your jump positions. You can also step through your records one at a time, type in a name or ID in the key fields at the top of most view windows, or set up a filter to quickly find and move between particular records of interest.

Each view window can have a different background color, making them easier to distinguish at a glance when you have several view windows open at once. Most user-interface elements, such as the text fonts, window sizes, and background colors, can be changed to suit your preference.

Auto-completion on date, place, and name fields speeds data entry. An " autosource" feature makes it easy to add to source documentation to a number of facts derived from the same source.
