LDS tools app - Ministering assignments
As of today, I am still not seeing the ministering section within the LDS tools app. I only see ministering sisters and that still is not updated? How do we update the ministering assignments online and when will it show up in the LDS tools app?

Re: LDS tools app - Ministering assignments
Ministering assignments can be changed in LCR just as they were previously. You have to have the most recent version of the LDS Tools app to see ministering assignments because they changed the associated web services. The new versions were release at the beginning of August. However, it sounds like the new version can only be installed on newer versions of Android. I'm not sure about the specific cut-off. I'm not sure if the same is true for IOS.

Re: LDS tools app - Ministering assignments
You have to be on LDS Tools 3.5.0 or later. This is true for both Android and Apple. You can see the version in settings.

Re: LDS tools app - Ministering assignments
I am using the latest 3.5 version but under Reports, all I can see is ‘Ministering sisters’ only and not for the brethren’s. Can clerks mark the ministering assignments on LDS.org or only the EQ and RS presidents do this?russellhltn wrote:You have to be on LDS Tools 3.5.0 or later. This is true for both Android and Apple.

Yes, clerks (other than the finance clerk) can change assignments and mark interviews.cchang wrote:Can clerks mark the ministering assignments on LDS.org or only the EQ and RS presidents do this?

I see it in lds.org now and it looks like for the EQ Ministering assignments, they need to create Districts first before they can add assignments. We'll have to test this and see how it is working now. Thanks.eblood66 wrote:Yes, clerks (other than the finance clerk) can change assignments and mark interviews.cchang wrote:Can clerks mark the ministering assignments on LDS.org or only the EQ and RS presidents do this?

Yes, you have to first create districts. If your EQ doesn't have any districts that probably explains why you don't see anything for the ministering brethren in LDS tools.cchang wrote:I see it in lds.org now and it looks like for the EQ Ministering assignments, they need to create Districts first before they can add assignments.

Re: LDS tools app - Ministering assignments
Apps are updated, district leaders are set; members who are not in leadership roles canning see their assignments nor their ministers.

Re: LDS tools app - Ministering assignments
With the change from Home and Visiting Teaching to Ministering, there has been a complete rewrite of the associated code at Leader and Clerk Resources that feeds LDS Tools. Part of the change requires that the latest version of LDS Tools (version 3.5.0) be used, and that newly released version requires later versions of iOS and Android.DougieDoug wrote:Apps are updated, district leaders are set; members who are not in leadership roles canning see their assignments nor their ministers.
For details, please see the LDS Tools forum posts and the posts under either Android or iPhone/iPad LDS Tools appropriate for your device.

Re: LDS tools app - Ministering assignments
I only have 2 ministering districts showing up in the RS. How do I add a third?
