• Gender (Defines how gendered wording on the personal memorial page is formatted, i.e., “May His/Her/Their Memory Be A Blessing”)
• Family ID* (Can be used to match the family ID record in your synagogue’s primary database)
• Observer* (Select a primary observer if more than one. This information will not appear on the touchscreen; it is only for data management purposes)
• Relationship* (Select the relationship of the deceased to the observer)
• Plaque Status* (Lets synagogue track whether digital plaques are permanent, temporary, or conditional based on membership status of observer)
• Date of Birth* (Date will appear on the personal memorial page if entered)
• Yahrzeit Date On Gregorian Calendar (The Gregorian date of death must always be entered, including the year, even if the name is intended to display on the individual’s Hebrew date of death.)
