Navigating CIMS Professional

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.

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.
