ShalomCloud offers quite a few ways to handle Yahrzeits. The point of this post is a new way — a simple, all-in list of Yahrzeits, their observers, and the respective dates of the next occurrence.
Rather than providing that background in this article, we encourage the reader to visit https://blog.shalomcloud.com/?s=Yahrzeit . There, you will see explanations and videos on topics such as
- Adding an indicator when the related party is deceased
- Seeing Yahrzeits on the family maintenance screen
- Basics of entering Yahrzeits
We now have an additional approach. From the Queries menu, you’ll see a selection entitled Yahrzeit Simple List. This sends you to a screen with only one field — the start date for producing a list of every Yahrzeit in the system.
This list, meant to be extremely quick, goes straight to a spreadsheet. It lists all of your Yahrzeits, with a line for each related party (or blanks if there is no related party). Beginning with the start date that you’ve entered, it shows the next occurrence of the Yahrzeit.
Here is a video showing this feature in action.
