The {{man label|Forms Gramplet}} allows users to create and edit structured source data in a single form. It makes the meticulous process of recording all the discrete elements far less fussy and error-prone.
The {{man label|[[Addon:Forms_Gramplet#Forms_Gramplet|Forms Gramplet]]}} has been enhanced to handle other {{man label|[[Addon:Form Definitions|Form_Definitions|forms]]}} such as birth, marriage and death certificates and parish register entries as well as the originally supported census forms.
Using a Form doesn't mean creating data that can only be accessed with the Form Gramplet. You can stop using the Form Gramplet at any time but still see and edit the data that was entered. The Form gramplet merely streamlines creating Events with the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_3#Attributes|Attributes]] to separately store elements of data from a structured source. You ''could'' do the same process using the standard Gramps editors... it would just involve a lot more steps per Person or Event.
