Could someone confirm if these assumptions are correct if importing TMG with direct option via RM? Just making sure my list of what I have to fix after final transfer is accurate.
I have 3 custom census tags. 2 of 3 are imported as shared facts. Of the 2 that import as shared facts the sharees and roles (aka TMG witnesses/roles) are imported; however, the sentence template for that role is not imported. All sentences would have to be developed from scratch. Is this correct? That RM deletes all the "witness" sentence template as it doesn't translate into RM?
One of the census tags is imported into RM but only as an individual. I have set it up the same way as the other 2, so not sure what to ask. No family share is made by RM. This is a tag for the 1790-1840 censuses when the sharees are not explicitly named, only the head of household. However, in the other two census tags/facts, I have only a principal, and then the roles, not a second (eg., spouse) listed, so they seem the same. Still working on what could be different but if someone has experienced this would appreciate ideas as to why 2 not all 3 don't import as shared fact.
Overall while RM does a good job in translating data from TMG, it looks like most of the sentence templates for each facts will have to be redone as I used M1-6, etc. and those are imported as is. That's OK, just need to know. So my question is -- I change the fact type sentence template, go to the person toedit the principal and sharee. For the principal the revised template is not applied. I have to go into customize sentence and click the reset to default button. Is this normal? RM does not apply the revised sentence template to all the existing ones? These were not individually customized sentences in TMG, they were the global tag sentences.
On this same line, I setup a sentence template for a shared fact for the role sharee. But it did not get applied to all the people already imported in as that role, and there is no "reset to default" button.
In any case, having to go into each principal and/or sharee to change the default sentence would be quite time consuming. Is there not a "change this globally as the new default sentence" in RM?
Forgive my naive questions. I'm new to importing TMG into RM and want to do an efficient but thorough job including simplifying out of my complex sentences but do want to retain shared facts. I'm probably just missing something obvious.
