This video teaches you all about table
layouts. Table layouts diplay the entire content of your family
tree in a grid format and can be useful for sorting data, finding
information, compiling statistics, navigating in your family tree,
and finding errors and replacing them.
The various features of the table layout can help you save time and
energy, as all the information is located in one place and any
column of the table can be sorted for easy navigating. You can also
copy the information of the table layouts into spreadsheets for
sharing with others.

skin. In this example, you will learn how to add a report title, a report
description, and a picture on your home page.

This video shows you how to split a large family tree to free up some
space on your pedigree layout without losing the parent-child
hierarchy. With only two mouse clicks, you can move an entire branch
to another tree (GenoMap).
GenoPro takes care of the rest, by creating the necessary
hyperlinks
to connect the trees. The benefits of supporting multiple sub trees
cannot be understated, as it is the cornerstone of scaling large
family trees containing tens of thousands of individuals. Without
the ability to split a large tree into smaller sub-trees, it becomes
very difficult to organize information or to create layouts suitable
for printing.

file from another genealogy system in GenoPro, and also how to
manually arrange the pedigree layout in case of overlapping.
