Add Unconnected Person

Is there any way to move "Add Unconnected Person" to another place? It seems odd to have to find this option under "Recents." Most patrons have never thought to look there and end up calling us to help them find this option.

    I've always assumed it was there because no one could think of a better place to put it. It doesn't seem like it should be blatantly out in the open as if it were the preferred way of adding people since the vast majority of the time we should be adding new people as someone's child, parent, or spouse. Having the option to add an unconnected person a little hidden might encourage people to do everything they can to find a person to connect this new person to first.

    Where would you put it?

    By the way, when people do call in with this question, do you take this as an opportunity to teach them how to use the Help icon?

    I have always assumed - its placement there was quite intentional so people would NOT use this option as their default method for adding new people to the system (since it is so much preferable to add people to the system by adding them to people already in the system) - - i.e. building on our own family tree.
