In GRAMPS, information is entered and edited through what we call
dialogs. Since we use that term frequently, we should define what
we mean by it:
</para><para>
A dialog is a pop-up window that provides one or more forms for
entering and editing data that fits a certain category. Examples
in GRAMPS include the Edit Person dialog and the
Marriage/Relationship dialog, among many others.
</para><para>
A dialog often includes a series of &quot;notebook tabs&quot; that
group the information into subcategories. For example, the Edit
Person dialog has notebook tabs for subcategories such as Events,
Attributes, Addresses, and Notes, among others.
