Skip Migration for a Resource

Question: How do I skip generation of migration for a particular resource? Context, I have an existing ongoing project that I want to port over to STAPLE. The project 1. has existing tables and data in production. The migrations are separately maintained using LIquibase 2. has views that combines data from multiple tables from multiple schemas. I'd like to define the tables and views as Ash Resources. Firstly, can do? I'm assuming that i can just put the name of the view into the table element in postgres. Secondly, hence, how do I skip migration generation for these resources entirely? Though I would like to generate new tables Third question, do I use 
postgres do
  table "myschema.tickets"
end
postgres do
  table "myschema.tickets"
end
OR 
postgres do
  table "tickets"
  schema "myschema"
end
postgres do
  table "tickets"
  schema "myschema"
end
I'm gonna give the above a go anyways. Just wanna ask for pointers. And I couldn't find where I can skip migration of entire resource. Cheers!

postgres do
  table "tickets"
  schema "myschema"
  migrate? false
end
postgres do
  table "tickets"
  schema "myschema"
  migrate? false
end
and yeah its totally fine to use tables defined in some other way and/or views with Ash
