Spaces list
We understand your cemetery may use a different term for its spaces, such as "plot", "grave", etc. In general, this documentation will use the term "space".
Navigating to a specific space
List of all spaces
To see a list of all spaces in a cemetery, expand the left-hand flyout. By default, the flyout is set to show the "List" tab. You may need to click on the "List" tab if your default is set to something else.
Click on sections to expand the list and see the blocks in that section. Clicking on a block will show the lots in that block (if your cemetery has lots). Click on lots for a list of spaces. Click on an individual space to load its information in the right-hand flyout.
Not sure what are the left-hand and right-hand flyouts? Refer to the Professional basics page.
Want to change your default tab in the left-hand flyout? Refer to our documentation on searching.
Space status counts
CIMS has an easy way to tell, at a glance, how many spaces in your cemetery are available, sold, sold with burial, etc. At the bottom of the List tab is a section titled "Space status totals". The colors correspond with your map colors; by default, available spaces are green, sold spaces are blue, sold with burial a darker blue, reserved spaces are pink and restricted an orange-salmon color.
You may also want a count of spaces by status for an individual section, block or lot. In the left-hand flyout List tab, just click the quick stats button to the right of the section/block/lot in question. This button looks like an abstract bar chart. Click the quick stats button again to hide the space counts.
Each space has its own unique "space ID". This id consists of a concatenation of the section, block, lot and space name combined with an underscore. A space's id will show at the top of the right-hand flyout when its information is loaded.
To search for a specific space, you will need this space id. In the List tab of the left-hand flyout, type the space id into the box located at the very top, then click "Go". The map will center on this space and zoom in, and the right-hand flyout will load with that space's information.
Space history
Every space you click on will be added to the space history list. This feature is especially useful if you need to refresh CIMS, or easily navigate back to a space you were working on earlier in the week.
Click on "History" in the top navigation bar of CIMS. Clicking on a space ID in the history list will center the map on that space and zoom in. The space's information will load in the right-hand flyout.
