CIMS Cloud Map

Map

The map of your cemetery uses the same mapping technology as Google maps. Each map consists of 11 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.

Map Navigation Pane

Map Legend

The Legend is a quick reference for the different types of spaces your cemetery has. Each type of space can have a unique color associated to it. These colors are set in the Layers settings found by clicking on the "Layers" menu item in the top navigation bar: Then click on the "Layer Legends" tab and in the Layer drop down choose "Spaces"; pick your colors then click on "OK".


Saved Coords

Show Coords

To see the Latitude and Longitude of specific spot on your cemetery, click the check box in the lower left to "Show Coords" you will then see Lat and Lng appear to the right of the "Show Coords" label. Move the mouse around your cemetery and you will see the Lat and Lng update with your mouse movements. To get a more accurate measurement zoom in as low as you can.

hidden feature: Pressing CTRL+ALT+c will save the current set of Lat and Lng to popup window to make copy and pasting much easier. Each time you press Ctrl+Alt+c the new set of lat and lng are added to the "Saved Coords" list.



CIMS CemTips

CemTips

Overly busy maps can be counter-productive. To combat this we have implemented "CemTips". This allows a user selectable set of information about a map item to be displayed when you place your mouse over the item. To turn on CemTips click the check box nest to "CemTips" in the lower right. To adjust what is shown on mouse hover click on "CemTip Settings". In the setting popup choose the map items you want CemTips to display for, and what type of information should be shown.

The options are:

Every space you click on in the map will be added to the "Map History List". This list is accessible by clicking on the map menu at the top of CIMS Cloud. Clicking on a Space ID in the history list will pan/zoom the map to that space and load that space's information into the Right Fly Out.


Left Fly-out

File:LfoListOpen.PNG
Left Fly-out Section Listing

"Fly-outs" are used to maximize the space for the map, while at the same time cutting down on 'Information Overload'. 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:

List

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 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 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.Status Counts Button


Search

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.

Search results

File:SerchResultsGrid2.PNG
Search Results Grid

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 "B" in Cem "1" that have a status of "Sold With Burial". From the search results we can see are 264 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 Right Fly Out will open with that space's information.

There are 3 buttons at the top of the results window:

  • 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.
  • Download as CSV
    a CSV is a Comma separated listing. This can be used to open in Excel, or be imported into another database.
  • Download as Excel file.
