What problem does Clusters Table Readability Enhancements solve?
Clusters Table Readability Enhancements makes the AncestryDNA clusters grid easier to read. Each column header shows the match’s name, written straight down, and the row you point at is shaded across the grid. Without it, finding where two matches meet means tracing back from the column to the row names.
How does Clusters Table Readability Enhancements work?
On the clusters report, each column header is given the same name as its row, so it reads as the match’s name rather than initials. The headers are turned to run straight down the page, which keeps long names from overlapping each other; a very long name ends in an ellipsis.
Move the pointer over any row and it is shaded, along with that match’s column. The two meet at the match’s own square, so you can follow one match across and down the grid to every match they share DNA with. The shading clears when the pointer leaves.
When you open a cluster, the tree size of each match in the list under the grid is shown in bold. The matches with a tree worth opening are then quicker to spot. There is nothing to set up; the changes appear whenever you open the report.
