| The map of your cemetery uses the same mapping technology as Google maps. Each map consists of different zoom levels, each containing several dozen image tiles that are generated on the fly as you load your cemetery. In addition, there is an interactive layer that highlights spaces, burials, markers and map features as you move your mouse over the cemetery map.

| == Left Fly-out ==
| | Clicking the home button will re-center your map on your cemetery. The map will show the same location and zoom as when you first logged into CIMS. |
| [[File:LfoListOpen.PNG|200px|thumb|left|Left Fly-out Section Listing]]
| | |- |
| "Fly-outs" are used to maximize the space for the map by providing information panels that can be hidden by CIMS users. By only revealing what is in the fly-outs only at the time those features are needed/requested, we are able to make a smoother, more efficient workflow. Inside the "left fly-out" you will find the "List", "Search" and "Reports" tabs.
| | |[[File:CompassButton.PNG|left]] |
| === List tab ===
| | |'''Compass button''' |
| ==== Open/Close sections, block, lots ====
| |
| Click on the links in the left listing to open/close the sub-lists. In the image to the left the Section "Cem 1" was clicked to reveal all the Blocks assigned to the section. Then Block "Block A" was clicked to reveal all the lots assigned to that block. Then lot "Lot 2" was clicked to reveal all the spaces assigned to that lot. Clicking on a space will pan/zoom the map to the space and open the [[Space information|Right Fly Out]] with that space's information
| |
| ==== Search By Space ID ====
| |
| 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). For example for space A shown in the image on the left the Space ID woudl be "1_A_2_A". If you type in the Space ID into the "Search By Space Id" input box found at the top of the Cemetery section list and click the magnifier button to the right of the input box (and that is a proper Space Id) that map will pan/zoom to that space and open the [[Space information|Right Fly Out]] with that space's information.
| |
| ==== Space Status Counts ====
| |
| Each section in the Left Flyout list will have a stats button that when clicked, will show the counts for all the space statuses for that section. Each Sub level will show its respective space status counts as well. You can turn this on and off by clicking the Status Counts Button.[[File:SpaceStatusButton.PNG|50px|top|Status Counts Button]]

|
| === Search ===
| | Use the compass button to display your position on the map relative to your cemetery. You need to be within 5 miles of your cemetery to use this function. |
| Searching is used to find: owners, co-owners, spaces (single or groups), burials, markers, deeds, space permissions, work orders, ownership history, Customers, and Map Features. Search results can also be printed or downloaded to Excel, so if you wanted a list of all available spaces for a specific lot, just choose the section, block and lot, then only have the "Available" option checked and click the blue "Search" button at the bottom of the Left Fly-out.
| |
| [[File:LfoSearchSpace.PNG|200px|thumb|left|Left Fly-out Searching]]

| | Initially, a mausoleum on a CIMS Professional map will show a top-down view of its structure without further details. Clicking on a mausoleum will change the map to show that mausoleum's individual niches. Each of those niches can then be clicked to open the right-hand flyout with additional information. |
| The search results grid is a table that shows a row for every match made by your filtered search. If you leave a filter field blank then the search will match on any value including "NULL" (empty) values. For example in the image to the left Spaces were searched for ALL the spaces in ALL the lots of Block "A" in Section "1" that have a status of "Sold With Burial". From the search results we can see are 421 records that match the search filters. If there are more than 500 records those additional records will be shown on another page of results; there will be buttons to the other pages shown at the bottom of the results window.
| |
|
| |
|
| From here you can scroll up and down to look at the results (and sometimes left to right if there are more columns). You can click on a row and the result window will close and your map will zoom/pan to the row's corresponding space and the [[Space information|Right Fly Out]] will open with that space's information.
| |
|
| |
|
| There are 2 buttons at the top of the results window:
| | When viewing a mausoleum, a "Back to main map" button will appear in the map controls in the upper-left corner of the map. Clicking this button returns you the main map. |
| * Print
| | |} |
| *: This will print the complete (meaning all pages if more than one) using your browser's print dialog box. One of the reason we recommend the Chrome web browsers is it has a very nice print preview and the ability to adjust margins, landscape vs. portrait and other settings prior to printing.

Map basics
The map of your cemetery uses the same mapping technology as Google maps. As you zoom in, greater levels of detail will appear. As spaces and individual burials become visible, they will become interactive; clicking on them opens the right-hand flyout to show more information.
Zooming
There are several ways to zoom the map:
Scroll wheel on your mouse
Push the scroll wheel on your mouse up to zoom in and push the scroll wheel back to zoom out.
+/- buttons
Clicking the + or - buttons in the map controls will zoom you in and out. Map controls can be found in the upper-left corner of your map.
Magnifier click-and-drag button
Click on the magnifier icon in the map controls and then click and drag a rectangle on the map to zoom in to selected area.
Pinch and zoom (on mobile devices)
Mobile devices such as tables and smartphones with touch screens are supported and using the normal pinch and zoom techniques will zoom the map in and out.
Pan
To pan the map simply click and drag the map, or on mobile devices tap and drag.

Showing latitude & longitude
The "Show Coords" checkbox with latitude & longitude showing
To see the latitude and longitude of specific point in your cemetery, click the "Show Coords" checkbox in the lower left corner of CIMS. You will then see coordinates appear just to the right; move the mouse around your cemetery and you will see the latitude and longitude update with your mouse movements. Zoom in to get a more accurate measurement.
Saving map coordinates
This "Saved coordinates" popup has several sets of coordinates saved
Pressing CTRL+ALT+c will save the current set of latitude and longitude to a popup window to make copy and pasting much easier. Each time you press Ctrl+Alt+c, the new set of latitude and longitude are added to the "Saved Coords" list.
CemTips
In the CemTips settings popup, you can choose what information to display when hovering over an interactive element
Overly-busy maps can be counterproductive. To combat this we have implemented "CemTips", which display a quick summary of information about a map item when you hover over it with your mouse.
To turn on CemTips, click the check box next to "CemTips" in the lower-right corner of CIMS. To adjust what information is shown about a map item, click on "CemTip Settings", a button just to the right of the CemTips checkbox in the lower-right corner. If you do not see the settings button, make sure you have CemTips turned on. In the settings popup, choose the map items you want CemTips to display for and what type of information should be shown.
For the most comprehensive overview, choose "Ownership info", "Burial info", and "Marker info". Remember to save your changes!
Users on slower internet connections may see a delay in how fast CemTips appear.
With CemTips activated, hovering over a burial will display a summary of its information
Interactive map elements
Various elements on the map are interactive and clicking or tapping on them will open up additional windows with information.

Initially, a mausoleum on a CIMS Professional map will show a top-down view of its structure without further details. Clicking on a mausoleum will change the map to show that mausoleum's individual niches. Each of those niches can then be clicked to open the right-hand flyout with additional information.
When viewing a mausoleum, a "Back to main map" button will appear in the map controls in the upper-left corner of the map. Clicking this button returns you the main map.
