Use of 'Facts' Section

[Robin Helmond]

I am pondering the intended use of the sections for a Person Field. I want to add the military service for a person and wonder if it should be entered in the Notes section, where there is a heading for such information, or in the Facts section. There is no predefined Military topic in the Facts section, but it seems to me to be the appropriate place for such information.

I know I can create topics to suit myself, but I would like to work with how Reunion is designed to be used.

I would enter Military Service as an event - it has a start and end date, at least one place, and i'm sure a bunch of Notes (memo)

That way you can have a whole succession of events showing up for military service at different times at different locations that are all part of a person's timeline.

Thanks, Roger, that's a help. Sometimes a person's full military history is available, and one can enter a series of separate events. However, when that is not available, I suppose I can use the enlistment date as the event, just because the person enlisted for service. I think I have a better handle on entering military service now.
