Create a marker

• Navigate to the space where you want to add the marker, either by clicking on it from the map or opening the space in the right-hand flyout some other way. Click the Marker tab.
• Click the "Add new marker" button, then "Create new".
• A marker will appear on the map using your cemetery's default marker shape. The right-hand flyout will change to show different marker shapes available for you to choose. Click on a thumbnail image of a marker shape to change the shape. To move the marker on the map, click on the map directly or use the position buttons in the right-hand flyout. You can also change the shape's size and rotation in the right-hand flyout. Click "Next".
• The right-hand flyout will change to show fields where you can enter marker information. Only the marker type is required, other fields are optional.
  • Need a marker type that isn't in the list? Click the navy blue plus button to add an option.
• Click "Save" to save this marker in your database.
• The map will update to show the marker, now a solid color, on your map.

• 

  Add a new marker from the Marker tab. Click "Add new marker" then "Create new".

• 

  Modify the marker by changing the shape, size, placement and rotation. Click "Next".

• 

  Add any relevant information about the marker, then click "Save".

• 

  The newly-added marker will appear as a solid shape on your map.

Attaching one marker to multiple spaces

A marker attached to multiple spaces will have those spaces listed as part of its information. A marker can be attached to any number of spaces.

Navigate to the space where you want to add the marker. Click the Marker tab, then "Add new marker". Click the navy blue "Use existing" button. Click the marker you want to attach to this space. That's it! Now the marker will show that it is associated with two spaces. This is especially useful for markers spanning multiple spaces.

Adding media to markers

A marker with multiple media files will have arrows to the left and right to navigate between them. Click and drag the dots underneath the media to rearrange them.

Images of markers, headstones, obelisks, and so on are easy to add to CIMS! Click on the marker you want to add the image to, scroll down to the marker media section. Click the navy blue "New media" button. A popup will appear with 3 tabs:

• Tab 1 allows you to upload an image from your device. You can choose to resize the image or keep its original size.
• Tab 2 allows you to use your device's camera to take a photo and directly upload it into CIMS. This is an especially useful option if you have good signal in your cemetery! Just take a tablet out to your cemetery grounds and use its built-in camera to take photos of markers.
• Tab 3 allows you to save a YouTube link to a marker, which might be useful for an obituary video.

Use the relevant tab to add your media, then click "Save". Your media has now been saved to the marker!

Markers with multiple images will have arrows to the left and right. Click these arrows to navigate between media. To rearrange the order of media, click and drag on the dots underneath the images.
