Editing in Member Tools

[zaneclark]

As the membership clerk, I thought I remember editing photos and contact information in Member Tools, but now it seems I can only edit my own. Does this mean I will have to use LCR to edit member information?

It does for now.

I am not certain exactly when the edit features where removed from Member Tools, but I know the photo edit was removed first and then the member contact information was removed. If I recall correctly there was information in the Member Tools What's Coming section in the Help menu that explained the changes to both LCR and Member Tools that were coming. A significant part of what was described as coming has already happened over the past two major changes to Member Tools. I reviewed that same section again and the reference to the completion time of mid 2026 has been removed and replaced with the words "over the coming years". The FAQ section states "Member Tools and Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) will both eventually be renamed Member and Leader Tools. Our goal is to provide the same functionality and user experience while using the mobile or web application."

That last part tells me the edit ability will return to Member Tools either before or after being renamed mobile Member and Leader Tools. With the release of the Member Tools version that replaced the home page menu with feature tiles, the user interface had changed to tailor the available tiles to include calling related features. Notably there is a Manage Records tile for clerks with membership edit permissions. It currently has but two features - Move Records In and Out and Record ordinances. That tile appears, to me, to be a good place to put most of the other membership editing features currently only found in LCR.
