Rule Amendments
Rules are the basic building blocks of custom Filters. A wide variety of rules have been built-in for creating custom filters in each category.
The following of add-on Rule collections have been gathered released as "Packs" of rules:
- FilterRules - documentation, GitHub repository
- FilterRules2 - documentation, GitHub repository
- Generic rules (SuperTool) - (separate entries under each object category, for use with with custom rule code generated by SuperTool) - documentation, GitHub repository
With the release of Gramps version 5.1, the first addon Rules were posted as examples of coding a Filter Rule addon. Installing similarly to any other addon, a New Rule appears as a menu item within Add Rule dialog while Defining a custom Filter.
Filters created with these Rules can tested, cloned or deleted using the Filter Editor. The dialog is invoked from the Edit menu in each Category view.
Locating Filter Rule AddOns
The Plugin Manager can be used for more than installing and updating plug-in modules. It can help you discover the growing capabilities that might not be obvious.
Open the Plugin Manager from the Help menu and use its Search box to filter the view to only those addons which have a row or filename which include the 'Rule' term.
Addon Rules that have been peer-reviewed will be added to Gramps' Update Manager system. This automates the installation process
When manually installed, each addon rule's Python source code (.py
) file and Gramps Plugin Registration (.gpr.py
) file will be located in the \gramps5.2\plugins\FilterRules\
subdirectory of your User Directory
Looking at the Info on any currently installed Rule will verify the file location where addon rules have been installed.
Addon Rules
Rules are added in sets/groups via the Plugin Manager. All the Rules in a set are added/removed when any Rule in that set is added/removed.
Each set supports Multilingual internationalization services through .po and .pot files using gettext.
In the few months that addon Rules have been a feature, two sets of rules have been collected:
Individual Rules
Active Person
General filters addon rule to find the Active Person. Available for Person, Relationships, Charts, Geography
This is a useful "basic" rule for use in compound filters.
Also see:
Isotammi Add-on Rules
Rather than distributing through the Gramps open source project, the Taapeli Project (which is a national database of Finnish Genealogical Society) curates their own set of "Isotammi lisäosia" : “Big Oak (the mythological World Tree) add-ons" for Gramps. The add-on manager installation files are hosted separately.
Besides an initial experiment distributing a rule, they created the SuperTool for directly executing queries and building custom query rules used by a "Generic <Object> filter" in each category view.
FilterRules : Plugin Manager Rulebook Collection
General Filter Rule Addons
Person • General filters addon rule to find Person(s) matching a specified filter.
Matches people who are related to anybody matched by a person filter.
isrelatedwithfiltermatch
provided as sample .gpr.py & .py code
for writing addon filter rules. Demonstrates piping the output of one custom Filter into another.
People with events with a selected role
Person • Event filters addon rule to find Person(s) having any Event with a specified Event Role.
This rule is particularly useful to search for people with Events having an "Unknown" event role. An Unknown role always a placeholder that should be resolved as soon as possible.
Families with Events with a selected role
Families • Event filters addon rule to find Families having any Family member or shared Family level Event with a specified Event Role.
hasrolerule
provided as sample .gpr.py & .py code
for writing addon filter rules. Demonstrates including category variants of a rule in the same addon.
Source matching parameters
Sources • General filters addon rule to find Sources based on the following parameters: Title, Author, Abbreviation, Publication.
This addon rule has similar options to the standard Filter Gramplet for the Source Category View. It can be used to save complex filter parameters.
hassourcefilter
provided as sample .gpr.py & .py code for writing addon filter rules. Demonstrates text based filtering with RegEx options.
People Separated less than <N> degrees of <Home person>
Person • Relationship filters addon rule to find Person(s) having a relationship to the Home Person within a specified degree of Consanguinity and Affinity.
The Home person is point of reference for calculating (<N>) Degrees. For N, Minimum value is 1, Maximum is value 32.
- Degree 1: person/spouse + children ( <zero N> ancestors, because the selected person is generation 1 + 1N descendants)
- Degree 2: person plus person’s parents, siblings, niece/nephew, children, grandchildren, etc. (= 1N ancestors + 2N descendants)
- Degree 3: persons grandparents and 3 generations down. (= 2N ancestors + 3N descendants).
The ancestors and descendants generations have an offset of 1 to mimic the built-in filter rule behavior. Early versions of this rule optionally included partners and non-primary parents. Those relatives are now always included.
This Rule may need to manually downloaded and installed: see the source code files on the GitHub Repository

Developing New Rule AddOns
Beginning with version 5.0, Gramps implemented an database API (application programming interface) infrastructure supporting user selectable backends. This new exploration of database support lead developer to extend the addon (plug-in) framework to support expanding Filter Rules via the Plugin Manager.
The 5.1 release changed the default database backend from BSDDB (Berkeley database) to SQLite. With the broader group of user familiar with optimizing searches, it made sense to open Gramps to the specialized knowledge.
