To track Holocaust survivors, we recommend the following:


<div style="clear:both;">
* First, add a custom input to your cemetery labelled "Holocaust survivor" with a type of "dropdown" and just one option, "Yes".
** See [[Advanced_cemetery_options#Custom_inputs_(aka_user-defined_fields)|Advanced cemetery options - Custom inputs]].
* Then, edit customer records so that the "Holocaust survivor" field has a value of "Yes".
** See [[Customers]] if Platinum, [[Customers (Gold & Light)]] if Gold or Light.
* You will then be able to search for customers who are Holocaust survivors.
** See [[Searching#The_most_useful_search:_Customer_searches|Searching]] if Platinum, [[Searching_(Gold_%26_Light)#The_most_useful_search:_Customer_searches|Searching (Gold & Light)]] if Gold or Light.
* If Platinum, you can choose to visually distinguish Holocaust survivor burials by [[Map features|adding a map feature]] or [[Flagging objects|flagging the burial]] object.

Hebrew calendar dates

Yahrzeits

Tracking Holocaust survivors


Hebrew calendar dates

Here the equivalent Hebrew date is displayed below the default Gregorian date.

CIMS can display Hebrew dates alongside Gregorian calendar dates. To see these Hebrew dates in your cemetery, contact our team to turn this feature on. Hebrew dates will then show for all of your users.

These dates will display in a number of places throughout CIMS, including, but not limited to, the sold date of spaces, burial dates, birth dates, and so on.



Yahrzeits

Add a death date to see upcoming Yahrzeits.
We understand some cemeteries need to track Yahrzeits, and may need to specify if a death occurred before or after sunset so that the Yahrzeit is accurate. To do so, open the buried person's customer record and add a death date and, optionally, specify if the death occurred before or after sunset. Click "update" to save your changes.

The individual's Yahrzeit is now displayed both in their customer record and in the "Burial" tab of the right-hand flyout. Click the black triangle to see the next 5 Yahrzeits.

Forget how to find customer records? See Customers if Platinum, Customers (Gold & Light) if Gold or Light.


Click the black triangle next to a burial's Yahrzeit to see the next 5 dates.
