Re: Making Proposed Ministering Changes

[ldr12]

After I make a few changes in the Proposed Ministering Changes tab & I am ready to publish them....What happens to the Current Assignments page? Does it wipe out everything there & only add in the proposed changes only.....meaning I'll lose everything that is already currently assigned? Even current assignments I don't want to change? Thanks for the help!

The proposed assignments are not added in. What is on the Proposed Assignment page replaces the entire Current Assignments page when the 'Review and Publish Assignments' button is clicked.

It sounds like you may have started with a blank Proposed Assignments page. If any of the current assignments were to remain, then before making new companionships and adding assignments to those companionships the current assignments should have been imported into the Proposed Assignments page. Since I don't have a blank Proposed Assignments page available to check I am not sure of the exact name of the button to import the current assignments. I believe that when the 'Start Over' button is clicked the data on the page is cleared and the button named 'Review and Publish Assignments' is named 'Use Current Assignments', 'Begin with Current Assignments', or something similar to those. Clicking that button then populates the Proposed Assignments page with a copy of the data from the Current Assignments page. The Proposed Assignments page is a sandbox to work through changes to current assignments without affecting current assignments or those changes being visible to the general membership until published.
