Cemetery mapping can be problematic with more than one internment in a plot. One way to get around this in parish Online is to generate multiple features sharing the same location.

1.    Two layers (Cemetery boundaries and Plots) have already been set up as collaborative layers see Creating a cemetery map. A collaborative layer means that when you plot your information on the map, other councils can see it. And likewise, what they plot can be seen by you. This is important to ensure projects are considered in a joined up way. Don't worry, they can't edit the information you draw in, and you can't accidentally delete their information. NB you can create your own private layers in the Parish Layers Collection, see Creating Map Layers but these will need the attribute columns added from scratch.

2.    To understand the process of how to add a feature to the layer check out  Add, Edit and Delete Map Objects (Points, Lines and Polygons)

3.      Assuming step 1 has been completed and step 2 has been reviewed and understood. Select the Add Feature for the layer in question. On the feature editor dialog that appears select the polygon icon, then the drop down to select the preset feature size.

4.      Move the cross-hair cursor to the approximate position of the new rectangle and click. A dotted polygon will generate around that location. Use the circled corner to rotate the feature or click and drag it if the position is incorrect.

Once in position then Save

5.      To get a second object in exactly the same location use the copy to another layer icon. First close the Feature Editor. Select the feature (click on it), then the copy icon, then under the Select Layer dialog that appears next, pick the plot layer from the list, then Save.

6.      Repeat from the number of required objects at the same location. The images below illustrate the functionality. There are multiple rectangles but only one highlighted. The table shows that the different objects sharing the same location, so each can have the same plot number in the table to show they are located at the same location.
