GrampsAIO64-5.1.2-1 & Windows 10. I would like to be able to create a report on all my events in the database showing in particular the Event Type, Name and Role (although date and location would be useful). PDF or screen is OK but would prefer to csv. Also being able to filter by Event type would …

It doesn’t have Role as one of the columns though. That’s because you can have multiple participants on Shared Events.

I’m not sure of that but it seems to me there it’s no people and events csv export displaying role of people in these events too

[image] les61: I want to make sure that there is a “bride” and “Groom” for each marriage event. Then you want the Family view. This will show the two people attached to each family and the Relationship of the Family. I have some Families where the Mother and Father are unknown and left empty…

[image] les61: want to make sure that there is a “bride” and “Groom” for each marriage event. If what you really want is to identify events that are missing either the “Bride” or “Groom” role (or both), then you can create a custom filter in the Family view, I think something like this: Cust…

I do not think it is a matter of an event with a particular role. In the Family editor, do the Father/partner1 and Mother/partner2 slots have people in them. I just a quick look and there is no filter in the Family Filter editor that checks for empty slots. I just do a sort on the Father field i…

[image] Obstipatus: an easy way to see Events with multiple roles and what type of roles those was Would it help to have a new category view, in which the columns included participant (person name), event type, event date, role, etc.? It would be different than the existing Events view becau…

[image] GeorgeWilmes: Would it help to have a new category view, in which the columns included participant (person name), event type, event date, role, etc.? Adding another Event View mode might be a good thing. The current Event view is not a flat list. It sub-groups ‘share’ references for …

[image] Obstipatus: Problem with the csv export of the view list are that there are no references in them, so without extensive work in excel or Openrefine, they cant be used to much… and it is no way to import changed data… I suppose if there was a truly flat mode Event view, with 1 row per …

[image] Obstipatus: would be easier with export/import of an RDS/OWL standardized file Probably. But adding another View mode with no consolidation & 2 more columns would be dead simple. Adding a new format is a major development investment.

When you say ‘not that much’, you’re not thinking like a programmer. To make a modified mode, it just requires duplicating a module and maybe adding a half dozen lines of codes and changing values in probably 20 more. It wouldn’t even take any design work or crosswalk analysis.
