Thank you for the quick reply! My attempts to search for an explanation directly on various sources was coming up empty (this forum, clerk's wiki, clerk's troubleshooting guide).

Again, thank you for the clarification.

Thanks for the pointer to the official instructions on account settings. Just wanted to report back that making the changes to one login account for the machine has been completed. All logins to MLS now work properly.

In checking through various financial reports yesterday as part of Tithing Settlement preparations, I checked the "View/Update Donations" report from the Finances block of MLS. It shows all of our donation batches since General Conference as "Sent", though all batches prior to co...

I appologize in advance if this is has already been addressed; I didn't find anything similar in a preliminary search through the forum. I've been asked to add 'Jr.' to a record so it shows as such on all lists, forms and reports. In checking the record, 'Jr.' is already present on the Full Name fie...

After playing with it a bit, I can see how this would be a strong supplement to the (eventual) addition of the FamilyBrowser features of nFS. One of FootNote's core focuses is dumping your personal shoebox of photographs and doc...

I whole-heartedly agree that this would be useful! Thank you, awayment, for posting the suggestions! These are right in line with some of my own thoughts on where scripture study tools could be headed, if anyone were interested in pushing technological boundaries a bit, though I haven't seen anythin...

I'm not seeing this addressed elsewhere (though perhaps I haven't entered just the right incantation into the search tool). These are all fairly easily worked around, but are annoying and inconsistent with the rest of MLS. I see most date fields throughout MLS accepting three letters for the month p...

There are several example combining problems I've come across, and each has a different solution which comes to mind. These are based on my limited understanding of how the NFS system works, and my background in software engineering. For some of instances where I'd like to separate individuals, I ca...
