Niche Management The left-navigation "**Niches**" item is the niche overview; bulk import and creating a park/section are on the "**Tools**" page (see Chapter 7). ### 3.1 Bulk Import Niches via CSV (Tenant Admin only) Niches are not added one at a time manually; instead they are bulk-imported via CSV, a feature available **only to the Tenant Admin**: 1. Go to the "**Tools**" page → "**Bulk Niche Import**" → click "**Import CSV**" (you can "Download Template" first). 2. In the dialog, choose the **target park/section** (if none exists yet, click "**＋ Add Park/Section**" to create one first), then "Choose CSV File". 3. The system **executes immediately on confirmation**. When finished it shows a row-by-row result summary: total / added / updated / skipped / errors, plus each row's "identifier · action (added / updated) · note". ![CSV import result summary](/screenshots/N-01/04_import_result_summary.webp) *Figure 3-1　Bulk niche import: choose target park/section → choose CSV → execute; when finished, a row-by-row action summary is shown (in this example all 5 rows are "updated").* > **Notes / Known Limitations** > - The import has **no "preview / diff confirmation before submitting"**—clicking runs it directly, and the row-by-row action table is shown **only afterward**. Be sure to use "Download Template" to verify the columns and confirm the CSV content is correct before importing. > - The import is **idempotent (repeatable)**: importing the same niche number again "updates" it rather than creating a duplicate, and the action column will show "updated". > - The niche number limit is **50 characters**. > - When creating a park/section fails (e.g. a duplicate slug), the screen only returns the generic "Failed to add park/section, please try again" without stating the reason. If it repeatedly fails, use a different park/section name, or contact engineering for help. ### 3.2 Editing a Niche From the "Niches" list, open the "Edit" dialog for a niche to modify fields such as the niche number; it updates when saved. Changes take effect immediately, so confirm the new number does not conflict with an existing niche. ### 3.3 Niche Photos: Versioning and History Niche photos are **bound to the niche (not to a person)**: all memorial spaces under the same niche share the same set of niche photos. When you upload a new photo: - It **does not overwrite the old photo**—the old version is retained as a historical version. - The family-facing side sees only the **current, latest** photo; history is not exposed. - You can open "**Niche Photo History**" on the niche row to view all versions; the latest is marked "**Currently Displayed**", and the uploader and date are recorded. ![Niche photo history (two versions)](/screenshots/N-03/03_歷史_兩版本_最新在前.webp) *Figure 3-2　Niche photo history: v2 is marked "Currently Displayed" and v1 is retained as the old version; "To change the photo, upload again and it will become a new version; old versions are retained here for reference."* > **Notes / Known Limitations** > - The photo "version badge" on the niche **list** currently has a display glitch and may be stuck at `v1` (even when it is actually v2, and the thumbnail is v2). To see the true version status, rely on the "**Niche Photo History**" dialog (as above), where the version is correct. > - After uploading a photo, the list **does not refresh automatically** and may still show "Not uploaded"; manually refreshing the page will make it appear. ### 3.4 Niche Adjustments (Move / Swap Entire Niche / Remove) On a niche's "Adjust" page you can perform two kinds of operation: **moving occupants one by one** (moving a memorialized subject from one niche to another) and "**⇄ Swap Entire Niche**" (swap the occupancy of two niches in one click). Changes use a **staged (pending apply)** mode; only when you click "**Execute Adjustment**" at the end are they actually committed. "Remove from niche (become niche-less)" is also on this page, used to return a memorial space to an "unbound to niche" state. > **Notes / Known Limitations** > - "Execute Adjustment" has **no secondary confirmation dialog**; it applies as soon as it is clicked (including sensitive operations like "Remove from niche"). Carefully verify the staged changes before applying. > - **Removing from a niche does not remove the memorial space's service**: removing from a niche merely breaks the niche binding; the memorial space can still continue using all family-facing features. There is no "cancel niche" wording on screen; this meaning is achieved through the "Remove from niche" flow. > - **A memorial space not yet bound to a niche cannot be "bound in" from the niche side**. To bind a niche to an unbound memorial space, go to that memorial space's **detail page** and use "Assign Niche" (see Chapter 4). --- Source: https://curate.memorial/en/guides/tenant-admin/niches/index.mdx
