The '''{{man label|GEDCOM import report:}}''' details most of the GEDCOM lines that were either ignored or could not be understood (Most . These are most likely as because they are not part of the GEDCOM 5.5.1 standard. (See [[GEDCOM Extensions]].). The contents of the GEDCOM line (or lines where there are continuation lines) are also shown. In some cases, the lines may not be exactly what is contained in the input GEDCOM file, because the line is reconstructed following some processing. See '''Reading the report'''

Gramps uses a more advanced 'data model' than GEDCOM, therefore some data in GEDCOM cannot be imported into Gramps . (See [[Gramps and GEDCOM]].). The main exceptions are:
* Some GEDCOM attribute structures are treated as Gramps {{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Attributes|Attributes]]}} and therefore many of the GEDCOM Primitive Elements cannot be stored.
* The DATA elements of a SOURCE_RECORD (indicating the events recorded and responsible agency) are ignored.
* Many GEDCOM Primitive Elements do not have exactly corresponding data elements in Gramps, and they are therefore stored as {{man label|Attributes}} with appropriate names, normally the GEDCOM tag. This applies particularly to the header, submitter and submission GEDCOM records and particular fields like REFN, RFN, RIN and AFN.
Where data is stated to be listed as 'ignored', its omission is reported in the feedback at the end of import, and it is included in a {{man label|Note}} attached to a relevant object with a custom type of {{man label|GEDCOM import}} eg: . See, for example, the Source object in the example screenshot.
Where data is stated to be listed as 'silently ignored', it is not reported and not included in a note. (at At present<!--when?--> - this may be regarded as as something that has been missed by Gramps and should be raised as an issue<!--where? the bug-tracker?-->.)
