Scribe Cemetery Mapping Upgrade: Understanding Plot Management

Overview

The recent upgrade to the Scribe Cemetery application has streamlined the process of managing cemetery records by enhancing the mapping functionality. This article will guide you through the new features and how to effectively use them to manage plots and related records.

Key Features of the Upgrade

1. Simplified Plot Marking:

   • Instead of plotting each individual record, you now only need to mark the plot itself. All related records will automatically attach to the marked plot.

2. Cemetery Areas Mapping:

   • Areas must be accurately marked on the map. This is crucial as it filters the list of available records that can be attached to the plot.

3. Automatic Record Attachment:

   • Once a plot is marked, you can easily see which records are available for attachment. For example, if you double-click on any plot you will be given a list view of all of those plots that are within the marked area on the map.

4. Visibility Restrictions:

   • If a record does not show as available for attachment, it is due to the area not being included in that specific section of the cemetery.

Steps to Resolve Attachment Issues

1. Mark Your Cemetery Area:

   • Access the Set-up section of the Scribe Cemetery application.
   • Navigate to Cemetery Areas and ensure that your cemetery area is correctly marked on the map.

2. Check Plot Availability:

   • After marking the area, revisit the plots to see which records are now available for attachment.

3. Attach Records:

   • Once the areas are correctly set up, you can easily attach the relevant records to the designated plots.
