Omega settings

Import and Export

omega

These settings apply to importing people from one Omega database to another Omega database via the integrated user interface.

entry	Meaning
Import incomplete marriages	Determines whether, when importing a person into another database, their marriage to spouse NN is copied if the person's spouse is not imported at the same time. If this setting is off, the marriage is not copied.
List of imported people	Determines whether a new directory of persons is created with the imported persons during each import process.

Gedcom

import

The settings relate to the import of files in Gedcom format into Omega from a Gedcom-compatible family history program as the source system.

entry	Meaning
FAM sentence creates marriage	The MARR tag entry only creates a marriage for the parents (HUSB and WIFE tags) in a FAM record if the FAM record contains a MARR tag. The "always" entry always creates a marriage for the parents.
Marriage without type	This specifies the default setting when importing a marriage date if the Gedcom file does not explicitly state whether it is a church or civil marriage.
Sources	In the "References" setting, source references from separate SOUR datasets are numbered sequentially in the source information for the respective events upon import ( Q1 , Q2 , etc.), and the resolution of these references to full source titles is recorded in the import log. In the "Full Titles" setting, the full title of a source is written out in the source information for the respective events.

export

The settings relate to the export of files in Gedcom format from Omega for import into a Gedcom-compatible family history program as the target system.

entry	Meaning
Coding	The GEDCOM standard prescribes the uncommon ANSEL encoding for GEDCOM files. The preferred encoding is UTF-8 (65001).
Output target	GEDCOM files can be assigned a target system, the name of which, up to 20 characters long, can be selected here. The GEDCOM standard stipulates that this target system name for submissions to the Family History Department must be either ANSTFILE (Ancetral File) or TempleReady (Temple Ready).
