          Instructions for using the main features of FM Central.

          Family Members

          Add a New Person

          Click + Add Person to create a new family member. Enter the information you know. You do not have to complete every field at once. Click Save when finished.

          Find a Person

          Use the Search box above the Family Members list. Start typing the person's first or last name and the list will automatically narrow to matching people.

          Open a Person

          Click the person's name in the Family Members list. Their information opens in the Edit Person area.

          Edit a Person

          Change the information you want to update. The Save button becomes available after a change. Click Save to keep your changes.

          Hide or Show Person Information

          Click Hide to hide the selected person's information. The button changes to Show. Click Show to display the information again.

          Personal Information

          The Edit Person screen stores the person's name, sex, birth information, maiden name when applicable, photo, and other personal information. Enter what you know now and update it later when more information becomes available.

          Addresses

          Click Add Address to add an address. Addresses can be identified as Home, Work, PO Box, or another type. Existing addresses can be edited or removed. Use Copy to to copy an address to another family member.

          Family Relationships

          Use Family Relationships to record the relationships that connect people in the family. Parent relationships can identify biological, step, or adopted parents. Spouse information can keep a history of current and previous marriages.

          Children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relationships can then be calculated from the family information you enter.

          Spouses

          A person can have more than one spouse recorded. Use spouse information to identify a current spouse and previous spouses and to preserve marriage history when that information is known.

          Friend Relationships

          Use Friend Relationships for people who are connected as friends rather than relatives. You can record how the people know each other, such as through work, a neighborhood, church, school, a club, or another activity.

          Documents

          Click Add Document to save information about a document associated with the person, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, driver's license, or another family record. You can enter dates and notes and attach an image when available.

          Use Display to view a saved document image.

          Dates

          Use Dates to record important events associated with a person. Enter the description, date, and location when known. Existing date entries can be edited later.

          To-Dos - Tasks

          Use To-Dos - Tasks for things that need to be done. Leave the Due Date blank for a To-Do. Add a Due Date for a Task. Dated Tasks can be shown on the Family Calendar. Private items are visible only to the login user who makes them Private.

          Groceries

          Groceries is a shared family grocery list. Anyone in the family who has Groceries permission can add items. FM Central automatically records the login user who added each item. Check an item when it is purchased; it disappears from the active list but remains under Show Checked. Previously used items are remembered under Saved Items so they can be added again quickly.

          Calendar

          When adding or editing a Date, check Show on Calendar if you want it to appear on the Family Calendar. Click Calendar at the top of FM Central to open the monthly calendar. Birthdays and anniversary dates repeat each year. Click a calendar item to open that person's record.

          Family Tree

          While viewing a person, click View Family Tree. The main Family Tree shows the selected person's parents, the selected person and current spouse, and their children.

          Click people in the family tree to explore their family information and connections.

          View Family Group

          Use the View Family Group dropdown to see Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren, Siblings, Spouses, Aunts & Uncles, Nieces & Nephews, and Cousins.

          The family-group screens show the relationship connections so you can see how the selected person is connected to the people displayed. The dropdown is also available on the family-group screens so you can move directly from one group to another.

          Family Member Count and Sorting

          The number beside Family Members shows how many people are currently displayed. Use the sorting options to change the order of the list. Searching also changes the displayed count to match the search results.

          Change Password

          Click Change Password at the top of FM Central. Enter your current password, then enter and confirm your new password. This changes only the account you are currently signed in with.

          Admin

          Click Admin at the top of FM Central to open the administration area in the same browser tab. Each green Back arrow closes the current Admin screen and returns to its parent screen. From Admin Home, the green Back arrow returns to the same FM Central screen you were viewing.
