There are several places where the Decedent's name is posted in Gather. If you need to change their name, Gather has a new feature that allows you to update all the name's places in one pop-up window! You can reach this window from the Death Certificate or the Remember page.


On the Death Certificate

To get there, click on the Vitals icon either from the Dashboard or the Organize page.

In the name section, you'll see the button: Change Decedent Name.


On Remember page

From the Organize page, click on the Remember page. Select the Configure icon at the top right.

Open the Basics tab, you'll see the button: Change Display Name.


Change Name Pop-up Window

In the pop-up window, you'll see three sections where the name is posted in Gather. Update the name fields and the URL. If you cannot save the URL, there may be another case in Gather using that name. You can add the year, month, or case number to the end of the URL to make it unique.

Once you've made the changes, click 'Save' to close the window and see the changes made. You're all set! You've updated the decedent's name.
