2. Set up the owner information.

Options
Owner number
If the option to auto-increment
owner numbers is set up, the next available owner number displays in the
Owner Number box. If the option is not set up, you'll need to enter an
owner number that has not been assigned to another owner.
Name, address, telephone, and email
Enter the owner's name, address,
telephone numbers, and email. Connect will use the email address to send
emails from the Cemetery Management application to the owner.
Master contact
If there's a master contact record for the owner in Connect System Management, you can link the owner's information in Cemetery Management to the owner's information in the master record.
Plots
Link the owner to a plot. You can add the owner to an existing plot or create a new plot.
The new plot will show the available owner as the default owner. To assign the plot the new owner, you will need to replace the available owner with the new owner.
Adding an owner to an existing plot
1. Click Add an Existing Plot.
2. Use the Search window to select an existing plot.
The Search window displays a list of plots that have been set up and saved in the Plots table. To add a plot to the list, use the option to Create a New Plot.
3. Click OK.
The plot is linked to the owner.
Creating a new plot to add to the owner
1. Click Create a New Plot.
2. Use the Setup New Plots view to add the plot information.
You can add as much or as little information as you have on hand. You do need to add the plot location to save the entry.

4. Switch back to the Setup New Owners view.
The new plot is linked to the owner.
