Convert Dates

To trigger the calculation of the Yahrzeit Anniversary, users need to have selected either the before sunset or after sunset option from the Before / After Sunset drop down selection list which will have calculated and displayed the Hebrew Date of Death.

If the user selects the Convert Dates button while the screen is in edit mode, the API call is made to retrieve the Date of Death (in Hebrew) and the Yahrzeit Anniversary and place them in the appropriate fields.

Note if users do not select the Convert Dates button, the API call will trigger when the record is saved and update the fields in the background.

For example: Before Sunset -> Convert Dates Selected -> Yahrzeit Anniversary Displayed

For example: After Sunset -> Convert Dates selected- > Yahrzeit Anniversary Displayed

Hebrew Date of Death

On saving the record, the system sets/fills the Hebrew Date of Death in line with the Date of Death and before / after sunset selections as shown above. Users can use the convert dates function prior to save to populate this field.

On saving the record, the system sets /fills the Date of Death (in Hebrew), in line with the value calculated and displayed in the Hebrew Date of Death field. Users can use the convert dates function prior to save to populate this field

Yarzheit Anniversary

The user will be able to select/set a date for this element in order to see the next (or upcoming) Yahrzeit Anniversary date; corresponding to the date selected for Hebrew Date of Death by clicking on the Convert Dates function.

If a past date is selected an alert message will be displayed: Please enter a valid future Yahrzeit Anniversary date.

Where a user has already selected a date for the Yahrzeit Anniversary field, it will be overwritten by the converted next Yahrzeit Anniversary date to the corresponding date selected for the Hebrew Date of Death, when the user clicks on the Convert Dates function.

Nightly Scheduler

The system will automatically update Yahrzeit Anniversary date from the next (or upcoming) Yahrzeit Anniversary date by performing a nightly routine via a scheduler.

When the previous-selected date < current date. (For example, if the Yahrzeit Anniversary date is 18th Jan 2021, the user will be able to see the next Yahrzeit Anniversary date from 00:00:01 AM of 19th Jan 2021).

If this time-based job scheduler fails, an email notification will be sent to the admin account stored in Cemetery Setup.
