[[File:EditPreferences-Display-tab-default-51.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Menu: "Edit -> Preferences..." "Display" tab defaults]]
The {{man label|Display}} tab contains preferences relevant to the display of data and names, '''Appearance and format settings'''. Options are:
*{{man label|Name format:}} This option controls the display of names in the current database (the setting is saved in the database and is not system wide). In Gramps there are two type of name display formats: the predefined formats, and the user defined custom formats. Several different predefined name formats are available: Given - Prefix Patronymic, Suffix Given - Prefix Surname, Given Patronymic Suffix etc.
** Clicking on the right hand side {{man button|Edit...}} button will bring up a {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display_Name_Editor|Display Name Editor]]}} window where the available list of options is shown. The format is given as well as an example. When predefined formats are not suitable one can define one's own format. You can use the {{man button|Add}} button to add a Name format to the list. Clicking once will give you a '''SURNAME,Given Suffix(call)''' format and as example : '''SMITH, Edwin Jose Sr (Ed)'''. If you added new name formats to the list the {{man button|Remove}} and {{man button|Edit}} buttons become available to change the name format list.
***{{checkbox|0}}{{man label|Consider single pa/matronymic as surname}}: Checkbox unselected by default. If selected enables Gramps to consider patronymic and matronymic names as surnames.
{{man note|1=Note|2=Besides this database-wide setting Gramps allows you to decide the name display format individually for every single name via the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_3#Name_Editor|Name Editor]]}} dialog}}
*{{man label|Date format:}} This option controls the display of dates. It is a global setting, requiring a restart of Gramps to take effect, and applies to the display of dates in all databases loaded within Gramps until such time as the date display format is changed again. Several different formats are available, which may be dependent on your locale. {{man menu|Please note once changed it is necessary to restart Gramps to view the new date display format}}
** '''YYYY-MM-DD (ISO)''' (Default) - Example 2020-09-30 - Displays the date using the international standard [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ISO 8601 Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange] particularly useful when sharing data between countries with different conventions for writing numeric dates and times.
** Numerical
** Month Day, Year
** MON DAY, YEAR
** Day Month Year
** DAY MON YEAR
*{{man label|Place format(auto place title):}} This option controls the display of places.{{man tooltip|Enables automatic place title generation using specified format.}}
** '''Full''' (Default)
*** Selecting the {{man button|Edit...}} button will show the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Place_Format_Editor|Place format editor]]}}
*{{man label|Age display precision(requires restart):}}
** '''Years'''(default)
** Years, Months
** Years, Months, Days
{{man warn|Reported Bug in version 5.1.1 Fixed in version 5.1.2|Changes made in the "Age Display Precision" in the Preferences Display tab cannot be saved in this version of Gramps. <br><br>A manual workaround is detailed in the Bug Report.<br>''See'' bug report {{Bug|11384}}.}}
*{{man label|Calendar on reports:}} '''Gregorian'''(default). This option controls the display of calendar on reports, tools, gramplets, views. Several different calendars are available (see [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data:_Detailed_-_part_1#Editing_dates|Date Edition]]). Two dates with two different calendars will not properly display timeline or period, (e.g. Using the Gregorian calendar as the default displayed calendar, users will have a better coherency for displaying dates on period).
*<span id="surname guessing">{{man label|Surname Guessing:}}<span> This option affects the initial family name of a child when they are added to the family tree. The default {{man label|Father's surname}} will use the family name of the father. Selecting {{man label|None}} means that no surname guessing will be attempted. Selecting {{man label|Combination of mother's and father's surname}} will use the father's name followed by the mother's name. Finally, {{man label|[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name Icelandic style]}} will use the father's given name followed by the "sson" suffix (e.g. the son of Edwin will be guessed as Edwin''sson'').
{{man tip|1=Tip |2=The {{man label|Surname Guessing:}} option only affects the initial family name guessed by Gramps when the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Edit_Person_dialog|Edit Person]]}} dialog is launched from a {{man label|Family Editor}} window.
You can modify that name any way you see fit. Set this Preferences [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display tab]] option to the value that you will most frequently use, as it will save you a lot of typing.

*{{man label|Default family relationship:}}
** '''Unknown'''(default)
** Married
** Unmarried
** Civil Union
*{{man label|Height multiple surname box(pixels):}} Default:'''150'''
*{{man label|Status bar:}} This option controls the information displayed in the status bar. This can be either the '''Active person's name and ID'''(default) or '''Relationship to home person'''.
*{{checkbox|1}}{{man label|Show text label beside Navigator buttons (requires restart)}} ''checked'' (default) This checkbox controls whether or not a text description is displayed next to the icon in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Navigator|Navigator]] in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Main_Window|Main Window]]. This option takes effect after the program has been restarted. {{man tooltip|Show or hide text beside Navigator buttons (People, Families, Events...). Requires Gramps restart to apply.}}

{{man note|Feature - introduced in Gramps 4.1|[[Hierarchical Place Structure]]}}
[[File:EditPreferences-Display-tab-PlaceFormatEditor-dialog-example-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Place Format Editor - dialog (example) from Menu: "Edit>Preferences..." - "Display" - tab]]
Accessed from the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display]] tabs Place Format option.
This tab contains preferences relevant to how Places should be shown.
*{{man label|Name:}} A unique name for the place format.
*{{man label|Levels:}} The place names to be displayed.
Each level in the hierarchy is represented by a positive integer, starting with 0 for the selected place and increasing by 1 for each level up the hierarchy. The levels can also be represented by negative integers, starting with -1 for the top level (usually a country) and decreasing by 1 for each level lower in the hierarchy. In addition, the populated place (city, town, village or hamlet) is represented by the letter p; this can be used with an offset (e.g. p+1 or p-2).
The names to be displayed are defined as a comma-separated list of ranges. A range can either be a single level, or a start level and an end level separated by a colon. The start level must be less than the end level in a range. The start and end levels default to 0 and -1 if missing.
*{{man label|Street format:}} "None" (Default), "Number Street" or "Street Number". Option to concatenate the number and street in order to suppress the comma. For this option to work, the street must have the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Place_Editor_dialog|'''Type''']] ''Street'' and house number must have the '''Type''' ''Number''.
*{{man label|Language:}} (Empty by Default) A two-digit language code.
*{{checkbox|0}} {{man label|Reverse display order}} (checkbox unchecked by default)
