TheEl menú contextual té un títol i una llista d'elements d'acció.

El títol és el nom de l'entitat "clicada".

La llista d'elements d'acció depèn de l'entitat en què heu fet clic i de la finestra on es troba. És per això que se l'anomena menú "contextual". Cada acció proposada s'aplica a l'entitat en el seu context menuespecífic.

    AddAfegir propertyuna directlypropietat directament

    Adds a property to the entity. Ancestris will only suggest Gedcom compliant properties to be added at the location clicked. You cannot go wrong there.

    en-add-a-property.png

    en-add-a-property-assistant.png

    To create a user-defined property, click on the corresponding radio-button, and enter its name as shown in the text field.

    To automatically create sub properties to that property, check the corresponding box. For instance, a MAP property will automatically add the LATI and the LONG properties.

    This action item only appears when you click an entity or a property in the Gedcom editor.

    Propagate selected property...

    Propagates the property on which you have right-clicked:

    • either, to all entities of the category in the whole genealogy
    • or, to a particular entity, to be selected from the drop-down menu that will appear.

    en-propagate.png

    This action item only appears when you click a property in the Gedcom editor.

    Add another individual or a family

    Links an individual or a family to the selected entity.

    Depending on the entity or on the property clicked, not all sub-actions will be available.

    Here is the actions items when clicking on an individual:

    en-add-indivudal-or-family.png

    • Add a brother/sister/sibling: adds a brother or a sister to an individual
    • Add a spouse: adds a spouse to an individual.

    • Add an alias: adds an alias to the individual. An alias is another individuals who is supposedly distinct originally but who might designate the same person. 

    When the context menu is on a property, the menu shows this:

    en-add-indivudal-or-family-association.png

    • Associate a person: adds a relationship person to the property, usually an event.

    Add a media, a note, a source, etc.

    Links an entity, new or existing, to the clicked entity.

    • Add a source: adds a new or existing shared source.
    • Add a submitter: adds a new or existing shared submitter.

    Swivel...

    en-swivel.png

    This action is only available for properties related to another entity (associated persons, aliases, child in family, spouse in family, linked source, linked note, etc.).

    Set places criteria

    Opens a window allowing to change the places criteria.

    en-set-place-criteria.png

    This window is the same as the one used to define the default places format in File/Properties.

    This action item only appears when you click a place property in the Gedcom editor.

    Encrypt the selected properties

    Allows encryption of all information of the entity.

    en-encrypt.png

    Do not loose the password used for the encryption, it will make it impossible to retrieve the information.

    This action item only appears when you click an entity or a property in the Gedcom editor.

    Edit/Modify

    Opens the default editor on the selected entity or property. The default editor is defined in the preferences.

    Ig the Context menu is called from a place property, Ancestris opens the Places editor for all similar places. To only edit one single place, just use one of the editors and directly edit the place fields.

    Delete the selected properties...

    Deletes the selected properties.

    en-delete-property.png

    For security reason, Ancestris will ask you to confirm.

    This action item only appears when you click an entity or a property in the Gedcom editor.

    Navigate to relatives

    Navigates easily to close relatives of the individual.

    en-navigate-relatives.png

    Bookmark this entity in the dynamic tree

    Creates a bookmark of this entity in the dynamic tree.

    en-bookmark.png

    You will then be able to quickly display the dynamic tree of this individual or family using the bookmark button on the dynamic tree menu bar.

    Choose as preferred family for the dynamic tree

    For family entity only, sets it as the preferred marriage to display in the dynamic tree view.

    The action looks like this when the family is not chosen yet, and therefore can be set:

    en-preferred-on.png

    And it looks like this, with the little star on the icon, when the family has been chosen, and can therefore be unset:

    en-preferred-off.png

    Make root in the dynamic tree

    Rebuilds the dynamic tree with the clicked entity as the new root.

    Run a report

    Launches any possible report for the selected entity or for the whole genealogy.

    A number of sub-menus unfolds as you select this menu item. The structure of these menus follows the structure of the List and Reports window.

    en-run-report.png

    Swap spouses

    Swaps husband and wife in a family.

    This is much easier to fix a sex error in the individuals than to re-create the whole family.

    Register Photo : birth | marriage | death | misc

    In the act viewer, displays the photo of the certificate corresponding to the event clicked. This menu item is only enabled if the event has a photo coming from an act statement of the Registers records. The Registers Records tool must also is installed, but not necessarily open.
