Office software tasks

Office software can help clerks perform many useful functions.

Tasks

Either LibreOffice (the recommended suite) or Microsoft Office can be used to:

• Track move-in/move-out data (and forwarding addresses).

• Record sustainings, releases, setting apart, ordinations (who, when -- making sure all are completed). This may be commonly known as a ward business sheet.

• Keep a monthly history of unit statistics for the stake presidency.

• Track missionary contacts, progress, baptisms, confirmations, new member discussions.

• Record minutes of meetings (Many clerks use a laptop for this task, as well as many others).

• Create presentations for clerk training or boundary realignment proposals.

• Analyze stake demographics (even going as deep as street name increments using geo codes).

• Prepare, track, and report on ward budget allocations.

• Complete disciplinary council reports.
