Meetinghouse locator shows bishop's household number - mobile seems more appropriate

Post by cbass64 »

My bishop has asked me, the ward clerk, to find a way to update the phone number listed on the Meetinghouse Locator page. It is currently his household phone, and he says the majority of people trying to get ahold of him are trying to text, and he also has some privacy concerns about his home number being on there. From other posts on here, it sounds like CDOL is where this info come from. My concern with making changes in CDOL is that other sites like Ward Map, already show his mobile number as his primary contact, so would changing something in CDOL to fix the Meetinghouse locator end up messing up the number on other sites?

Thanks for any tips/tricks.

You could always set both to his cell #. Try it and then if it breaks something you can switch it back.

Good point. We'll give that a try.
