LCR equivalent to Membership Transaction Report?
Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2016 7:13 pm
Is there any work being done on a reporting capability in LCR that's equivalent to the Membership Transaction Report? Will it be part of the "cleanup" features in the next LCR project beginning in January?
Our unit was very sad to lose the Membership Transaction Report when it was discontinued in MLS ver 3.8.5
We found it EXTREMELY useful to track change specifics for several reasons:
1. The specifics of any change are listed, including the data that's been added/changed. e.g. an address on a move-out, or the person who performed an ordinance (or their birthdate/MRN), or a correction of birthdate/place or marriage date/place.
2. The date & source of the change are listed.
3. We have encountered data loss/corruption in MLS in the past & have had to try & find evidence for the changes/additions to re-enter them in MLS. (e.g. baby blessings, children of record, baptisms, ordinations, etc., etc.) This critical data is READILY available if the Membership Transaction Report was printed & retained, at the time it was produced. If not, leaders can spend endless hours trying to find some other evidence/source for the missing/corrupt data. I anticipate that this will happen occasionally in LCR also, and sincerely hope that a similar report will be available in LCR to help us in such situations.
So, despite the Membership Transaction Report being discontinued in MLS v3.8.5, it's loss is sorely missed in our unit!
Furthermore, we would GREATLY appreciate an equivalent be available in LCR (automatically produced would be ideal but we'd take manual if that's the only possibility), which doesn't currently exist.
