New Census Check addon description

{{Third-party plugin}}

[[File:CensusCheck-Quickview-addon-invocation.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Census Check - Quickview - invocation]]

This description applies to both the {{man label|Census Check}} and the {{man label|Census Check Up}} addons, the first shows descendants, while the second shows ancestors.

The {{man label|Census Check}} or {{man label|Census Check Up}} - [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_8#Quick_Views|Quick View]] shows:
* Names of people
* Birth and death dates
* Whether a census form event exists or should exist for that person.

== Usage ==
You can activate the Quick View by right-clicking on a person's name in the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#People_Category|People Category View]], and selecting {{man menu|Quick View > CensusCheck}} or {{man menu|Quick View > CensusCheckUp}}

==Features==

[[File:CensusCheck-Quickview-addon-results.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Census Check - Quickview - Results]]

The quickview shows the selected person, any spouse(s) and their children (including step-children of the selected person) for {{man label|Census Check}} or ancestors for {{man label|Census Check up}}. The children are shown in the order they occur in the database.

The results are shown as follows:
* {{man label|-}} the person was not alive for this census, so no census form event is expected.
* {{man label|OK}} a census form event has been found
* {{man label|miss}} a census form event should be present, but has not been found
* {{man label|closed}} a census form event has not been found, but 100 years have not yet elapsed since the person was born, so the record will probably be closed.

The addon is intended to be used as a research guide to show which census records should be looked for. Only a single generation is shown so that the research task is not too overwhelming.

Double-click a row in the Quick View to bring up a dialog showing the person associated with the name.

== Prerequisites ==

This quickview is part of the {{man label|Forms}} addon; it is not available separately as it does not make any sense without the Forms addon.
