How To

The CemEditor is very easy to use while entering data. Click on "Add", enter the information , and then click on "Update"

After Clicking on "ADD" if you click on "Copy Last" it will copy the last name, picture fields, and location fields. (A Very Useful Feature)

The plus "+" buttons next to fields means to increment them by one number.

The arrows by the pictures move to the previous picture or the next picture. (Numbered Pictures)

The Yellow Bar at the bottom of the screen explains the behavior of each button"

TIP

Enter a "?" Question Mark

Enter a "?" when you want to go back and check the entry later. Enter it in beginning of the field to make it easier to find this record later. You can search for the "?" in the Questions Report or edit screens.

Our advice is to use this "?" tag as question that may have an answer after the stone has been looked at again.

EXAMPLE: ? Check this Marker at Cemetery , ? Need a better picture, ? Check Date, ? Check Aged, etc...

Enter a "!" Exclamation Point

Enter a "!" when you may want to go back and check the entry later. Enter it in beginning of the field to make it easier to find this record later. You can search for the "!" in the Comments Report or edit screens.

Our advice is to use this "!" tag as comment on a question that has been reviewed by you and cannot be answered.

EXAMPLE: ! Broken Stone, ! Illegible, ! Illegible Date etc...

Enter a "*" Asterisk

Enter a "*" followed by a number or source information. We will add source reports later that will query this tag. Enter it in beginning of the field to make it easier to find this record later.

Our advice is to use this "*" when you were unable to transcribe the monument and were able to find the information elsewhere.

EXAMPLE: *1 Info on Date from 1956 Cemetery Survey etc...

Enter a "#" Pound Sign

Enter a "#" when there is conflicting information along with a description. We will add source reports later that will query this tag. Enter it in beginning of the field to make it easier to find this record later.

Our advice is to use this "#" when you find conflicting information about the burial.

EXAMPLE: # New engraving put on stone, doesn't match previous information.

Enter "VETERAN: "

Enter "VETERAN: " followed by their service information. Enter it in beginning of the field to make it easier to find this record later. It is not necessary to type the word Veteran if clicking on the "Veteran" checkbox. Veterans can be searched for easily using the custom search box.
