Program Parameters

To define program parameters, select File/Program Setup. You will see the screen shown.  The fields are defined as:

Web Path
The Web Path defines where your created web pages will be placed.  I like to define a sub-directory below the primary directory, where all web pages will be placed.  This will store all files waiting upload to your website together in 1 place.  This directory will be where all created obituaries will also be placed.  To select a directory, use the button at the right side of the entry field.
Wallpaper
The Wallpaper defines, if desired, what background photo will be shown on the main program screen.  I like to have a photograph of the cemetery in the background while I'm working.

Path to Photos
The Path to Photo field defines where you have your tombstone photos are stored.  I like to create a sub-directory where all photographs are stored.  This makes your primary directory less cluttered.
Last Image
The Last Image field contains the name of the last photograph you matched to a name.  The next time you go to the Photo Matching screen, this photo will be shown, allowing you to continue where you last left off.
Cemetery Name
Enter the name of your cemetery.  
Working Sec
The Working Sec field defines what section of the cemetery you are currently working.  If defined, all new interred records will have this section name automatically inserted.  I like to work a cemetery section at a time.  Defining the Working Sec saves entering this value into each new record.
Working Cemetery
The Working Cemetery field defines the name of cemetery which will be automatically inserted when creating new interred records.
Newspaper Source
The Newspaper Source field allows you to define a default newspaper source for all new interred records.  The values in this drop list are defined in File/Maintenance/Newspaper Sources screen.

The following are used to define what words you want associated with each area of the cemetery.  This allows you to tailor what the official records use to describe the areas of the cemetery.  These names will be what shows on all screens in the program as well as the column headings on your web pages.

Section Name
The Section Name defines what name you want to use for a cemetery section.
Lot Name
The Lot Name defines what name you want to use for a cemetery lot.
Space Name
The Space Name defines what name you want to use for a cemetery space.

Last Export
The Last Exported field contains the date when you last exported your data.  I've used  this in the situation where I needed to provide my interred information to our public library cemetery database.  I needed a way to know export only those records  changed since the last export.
Obituary Database
The Obituary Database, if checked, says you want to used this database for creation of an obituary database ( not a cemetery database ).  An obituary database creates a different style of web page, tailored for an obituary, without the normal cemetery graphics at the top of the page.

The Data Information box provides you with information as to how many interred records are in the database as well as how many photographs have been matched to interred names.

After entering the above information, click on the OK button to save your information.
