Creating the file to Upload to BDM

The grey ‘Unregistered Deaths (last 30 days)’ list displays any deaths that are not registered.
i.e known to FreeDAM but not ready to register.

Once the ‘Ready to Register’ check box is ticked on each case those cases will then be displayed in the grey ‘Able to be Registered After Date of Disposition’ List
As we can not register any death until after the date of disposition the deaths displayed in this list will automatically pop up into the yellow ‘Able to be Registered’ list after thier individual date of disposition is past.

Any case in the yellow ‘Able to be Registered’ list is able to be made into a text file that can then be uploaded to BDM’s website.

Deaths are able to be registered individually or on mass.
To create a file to upload for an individual case

• Click on the case to highlight it
• Click the ‘Create Bulk File of Selected Cases’ button.

The case will then jump from the yellow left hand list to the yellow right hand list.
The case will also gain a BDM Batch number.
This Batch number is today’s date in reverse and a number. i.e 2015021201
This batch number become appended to the text file that is saved on your desktop.

To create a file to upload for multiple cases

• Click on the first case in the list
• Hold down the ‘Shift’ key on the keyboard and click on the last case in the list so that all the cases are highlighted
• Click the ‘Create Bulk File of Selected Cases’ button.

All the cases will then jump from the yellow left hand list to the yellow right hand list.
All the cases will also receive the same BDM Batch number as they will all be included in the one file.
This Batch number is today’s date in reverse and a number. i.e 2015021201
This batch number become appended to the text file that is saved on your desktop.

e.g DeathNotification2015031201.txt

Why do we save the file on your desktop?
