Re: Change ministering district assignments
I want to move companionships (with assigned households) to a different ministering district. After selecting a companionship, clicking on the "Move to" drop down button just shows an empty box with nothing to select. I've tried different devices, operating systems and browsers with no luc...

Re: Purpose of Household Name field
Again, even in these cases, I don't see the need for a separate field, as the records are already linked and can pull the head of household's last name to be sorted under. (Actually I probably should use the term surname instead of last name, as in some countries they order their given name last). I...

Re: Purpose of Household Name field
I had forgotten that the household name transfers with the record. It would be good to know what the designers were thinking this field should be used for. There was only one time when I edited the content of this field. We had a sister in a single member household move into our unit with a differen...

Re: Purpose of Household Name field
Thank you russellhltn. I understood that was the case. But I don't understand why a separate editable field is needed. Household members are already linked to the Head of House - and his or her last name would be the name of the household - if this is the only purpose. My thought was to maybe use th...

Purpose of Household Name field
I'm wondering what the purpose of the household name field is. I was thinking it could be used to link multiple households with the same address (multiple generations of adults, etc.). Would it make sense to do this? Of course, there could be several household groupings with the same last name, so i...

Re: Create a new record for a newborn baby
What's missing from this discussion is when should a record for a child under age 8 be created (Handbook 1: 13.6.2). Church leaders are not supposed to just create records for children under age 8. They are created after the child is blessed or after the parents give permission. For a record to be c...

Generating lists from quarterly report
It's been a number of years since I regularly participated in these forums, so I apologize if this question has already been answered, and I just can't find it. I seem to recall that there used to be an easy way to get lists of those used in the "denominator" number (no. of families, Mel P...

Nonmember Spouse Maiden Name
I have been reviewing the website directory export file and found inconsistent data that I haven't been able to explain (I suspect the data on the website itself shows the same, but I haven't thoroughly reviewed that). In cases where the wife of a member is a nonmember, it sometimes lists the spouse...

I have yet to experience a couple serving from our ward under the new policy regarding housing costs. Will you explain how this works, and how it is the same/different than for the young missionaries under the equalized system? My understanding (at least before the new policy) is that couples are re...

e-mail Management
The info I'm looking for has probably already been posted, but I was not able to locate it. From what I've been able to ascertain, there are potentially seven e-mail addresses that can be associated with a given member. From one's LDS account: 1. Primary e-mail 2. Alternate e-mail 3. Ward Directory ...
