Also from this tab you can quickly access the map of the cemetery. The Find on Map button takes you directly to the grave location you have selected. No more searching through old paper maps to find
the grave. With Spatial GENERATIONS it takes only seconds to find a record and see the grave location on the map.
 
Why is this GREAT?
Because it saves you time!

• When you add or modify a record in your database, your map is updated at the same time!
• Change a name in the database and the label on the map changes.
• Enter information only once and the map is updated.
• When a grave is changed from available to occupied, the grave color on the map changes automatically.

The Vicinity View is an inset map of the entire cemetery. Located within the Vicinity View will be a red rectangle which outlines the visible portion of your cemetery shown in the Zoom Window to the right. Print the vicinity view to help patrons find the grave they are looking for.

The Legend box is a listing of the various layers that make up the cemetery map. What is a Layer? A layer is simply a grouping of similar information on the map. For example, all graves reside on the graves layer, all lots belong on the lots layer and so forth.
The Legend box shows how each layer will appear on the map. To change the appearance of a layer, click on the layer name in the legend. This opens a window that allows you to change colors, add labels, and color code graves based on the status – available, sold, not available, and so forth.

The Zoom Window gives you a dynamic map of the cemetery that is directly linked to the cemetery database. From this window you can display the entire cemetery, zoom in, zoom out, and navigate around the map with ease.

The Map Tool bar provides 13 simple buttons that give you control over how the map is displayed, modified, and printed.

Entering information is great, but if you can’t easily retrieve it, it’s not much use. That is why we have created an easy to use searching and reporting system.

• From this screen you have the ability to search for multiple records and create a useful report.
• Perform a quick search based on a single variable – all deceased with the last name of Smith, all burials in 2004, etc.
• Use the advanced search function for very detailed searches such as, all burials in March of 2005, or all graves owned by Robert Jones, or all grave openings this week and the locations.

It’s extremely simple, and you will love the power.

The search results from Step 1 are shown in the Results
window. Review the records and columns to determine if your results include the information expected. To assist with this verification, the number of records found are displayed in the box at the top right. If the results contain the information expected, move on to Step 3 to format or print the information.

The Reporting window contains a variety of options for formatting a report, previewing a report, and printing just the information you need.

• Create these reports – and many more:
• Create a list of all interments or sales for the past year.
• Create a list of all burials in the cemetery.
• Create a list by a particular name of all those either occupying or owning a grave.
• Create a list of all Veterans in the cemetery.
• Create a list by a particular name of those, who died before 1940.
