don't know if you have looked at ADM but I have a lot of data in that program which I am moving over to URp (newly licensed).

ADM allows the user to see form metadata (similar to attributes pane) in colums & the column metadata can be exprted/imported in csv format. I've done that for some of my data.

However, a lot of my data consists of outline topics w a page of data. The outline topics can be grouped as they are in UR, i.e. grandparent, parent, child, etc. They can contain text, rtf, graphics, web info.

But it is critical to this post to note that the page data cannot be transformed into a column.

ADM topics can be exported in the following formats:

RTF
HTM w CSS (html)
XHTML
HTM (simple)
TXT

I can export/import this data in html or rtf but this creates single pages containing many topics & pages of data.

What I'm trying to figure out is how/if I can group & import these topics as separate items.

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thank you.

If ADM can insert marker character(s) between each item when exporting to text/RTF, you can use File | Import -> A text or rich text (RTF) file to import into separate items within UR (you will still need to adjust indentation in UR after importing).

Where can ADM be download from?
