Marking or tagging people in gramps

Windows 10 x64 Pro, Grampsw.exe AIO64-5.1.6-1.

I’m looking for a way to “mark”/“tag” people.

For example I want to tag some people as “Verified”, so that I know that I verified them with evidence. or tag them as “To check”.

Is this possible in Gramps?

Hi

Just look on the top menu bar in any view you should the little tag with hole symbol and the name Tag

After Tagging an object (such as a Person, Family, Event or Note), the color of the highest priority Tag will be used for the font color in tabular list views.

The Filter gramplet can be used to filter on Tags. Custom Filters can look for tags. The Add/Remove Tags addon tool can tag filtered objects en masse. The What’s Next? gramplet can ignore People/Families with specified tags (such as a ‘verified’ tag) in its validation tests.

I recently mentioned this same process of using these tags in the context of “all-in-one” supervision thanks to the Graphview view (+ Combined View) essentially focused on Individuals with immediate analysis of the progress of the entries.
Just the regret that the possible tags on the 3 main events are not materialized in this view.
We could imagine, for example, that the labels of the events have a marking (Font, genealogical symbol *, x, + or other, etc.) inherited from that of the events
No doubt there would need to be a request for development?

Yes, a Feature Request (with your objectives) in the MantisBT issue reporting system is a good thing. However, hashing out a Request in Ideas beforehand is useful. There might be approaches you haven’t considered. But a “thick skin” is necessary. People will beat up the idea thoroughly. It saves developer resources to ID problems early … rather than needing massive re-works during beta testing.

Note: the the set of CardView experimental add‐ons makes multiple Tags visible, as does using the Edit → Configure… column editor of tabular list views. But I feel that those Tags are lost in the GUI clutter.

oh great, didn’t see it. In dutch it is called “labellijst”
Should maybe be renamed to tag in dutch as tag is a valid (and known) word: woordenlijst

Refining the translation is a welcome contribution. @Jan is the lead translator for Dutch. Start a conversation about where you can help. The Netherlands translation Statistics of the main program is approaching 100% but the manual is around 90%.

Please remember, changing a term in a single place means tracking down the instances in all strings and in the Wiki manual.

You are right, especially on the eve of a new version which will bring new features.

Not sure if you are aware but if you have the ‘People’ list in focus (rather than opening a single person) you can select multiple people by the normal crtl and clicking the people or shift and clicking the first and last person (standard windows options) or by using a filter of either Tag or Custom Filter. Then while the people are highlighted go to 'Tag" in the menus options near the top and select the tag and all the highlighted people will get that tag.
