New CDOL Missing Useful Information

#1

Post by mevans »

I'm not sure when CDOL got a revamp. Searching for some posts, It looks like some things have been happening with it over the last several months. But it wasn't that long ago (several weeks) that I was looking at the old, familiar CDOL. Tonight I needed to go there and found it's radically different, and contains less useful information.

In particular, I was trying to figure out which mission covers a particular stake. The old CDOL had all sorts of links off of an organization, including the mission it's in. The new CDOL has very little information about an organization. I can't even find what units are in a stake. Is this lack of information intentional, or is the new CDOL a work in progress?

It's a work in progress to replace the old one.

If you click on general information it lets you select Associated Units, which shows the same list as the old CDOL did. I was looking at the mobile version so the desktop version might be laid out a bit different, but should still have the same information

I don't see anywhere on the General Information tab where it shows Associated Units. This is on the desktop.

I don't think I have any special rights (other than being an employee, if that does anything) in the new CDOL. AFAIK it is all based on positions (callings). My calling is Elders Quorum Secretary.

I've reached out to the developer of the new CDOL to see what is causing the difference.

I am seeing what jonesrk is seeing. There is a third Associated Units tab that includes all of the child units, along with the temple and mission assignments, and other support organizations. I am also an elders quorum secretary, in addition to being the stake technology specialist (which I do not believe grants anything any longer).

I'm seeing the same thing - no related organizations. I'm also seeing far fewer stake callings. I'm sure I'm missing more than half the people. For example, I can't even see the high council.

I am a ward clerk and see the same as Mevans
There are 11 types of people. Those who understand Gray Code and those that don't.

I didn't remember the old CDOL showing high council members, but it wasn't something I was ever looking for, so maybe it was there.

FWIW, my calling is Ward Assistant Clerk -- Membership

No Associated Units here either. Stake Assistant Clerk-Finance.

Stake Exec Sec

Only see the "General Information" and "Organizations and Positions" tabs.

I can browse up the breadcrumb menu to get to the parent unit, but can't go back down again.

No associated units tab. No unit calling history anymore. No searching for all units within a geographical area if you don't know their names already.
