I have been asked about what Church policies affect the use of Church accounts when members in a stake want to provide donations that would be transferred to a ward impacted by the natural disaster. Is it appropriate to collect funds through either online donations or donations to one's own ward or ...

MLS allows you to print a report showing members who do not have callings. (Organizations >> Reports/Tools >> Members without Callings) Whilst looking at the printout this morning, I noticed that a man who is not a member of the Church (but who has a record number -- presumably one of those 'adminis...

The other thing missing in the panel (along with the link for seminary and institute info) is the link for Church audits. Gee, I guess that means the Church is doing away with audits! Right? :) By the way, my stake is NOT (at least has not been in the past and no one said anything recently) a beta t...

We recently had a sister in our ward who was sealed in the temple. The temple recorded the sealing. And then her records were moved out of our ward to her husband's ward -- apparently automatically. Or at least we didn't send her record. The problem was that instead of her moving into his ward, he i...

Okay, I'm baffled. After the last post I did another send/receive. Again there was the message about upgrading to 2.9.4. Now the confidential forms link is there again in the "Other Resources" panel. But still nothing for seminary and institute.

When I did a send/receive this afternoon there was a message that 2.9.4. was being installed. We already had 2.9.4 installed.

While trying to verify that members had been properly assigned to organizations, quorums and classes, I noticed that only a couple of our Young Men were showing up assigned "Boy Scouts" (Criteria = Organization Class is Boy Scouts"). When I opened a young man's individual record who was not on the r...

In an effort to make sure that organization assignments of members were correct, I created a custom report that showed all the organization/class assignments of members. It revealed a number of issues. One of the more interesting is that there were members who were assigned to the "Stake Presidency"...

This morning I added a ward social event to the calendar from the administrator's view. Silly me! It didn't dawn on me that the calendar was not displaying stake events -- causing a 'small' conflict between our planned St. Patrick's Day party and the Saturday evening session of stake conference. We ...

We recently noticed that a number of nonmember spouses who were in MLS were nevertheless not showing up, for example, in the "Household Members" tab and thus were also not showing up in the "Household Reports" printout. We then noticed that when we went to the member spouse's record and clicked on t...
