@sbradshaw thanks so much for the encouragement. I have spent over a year putting it all together. You have motivated me to keep going. Thanks! Ps. Added a features list to the site too. Thanks for all the info everyone.

I don't see anything there about HT/VT, which is the subject of this discussion. HT/VT on LCR is off in the future; the link you provided was only for LCR 2.6 and 2.7, which expands LCR access to auxiliary and quorum leaders, but says nothing about HT/VT.

And note that those release notes are dated August 27, which is almost 3 weeks from now -- they describe updates which are not yet available in production.

Sorry, profuse apologies!

You're quite correct about the content of the link. In my enthusiasm I got carried away with the prospect that in a future update(late fall), HT/VT access will eventually be available to the relevant auxiliaries/quorums, who should be getting access to LCR at the end of this month!

...I suppose I may have read more into aebrowns comment than what was actually there.
the Church just recently announced to clerks and leaders that features for administering home teaching will be coming on LDS.org by the end of the year
As a Return and Report user, I was hoping the announcement of the new release included some of the functionality and features similar to R&R such as electronic reminders and reporting to companionships via MLS or LCR/lds.org.

I am concluding that release mentioned will only be more convenient access to MLS and HT/VT reporting through LCR, and that this time, R&R features (automatic messaging, reporting, etc.) are only available through 3rd party applications.

I don't see how you can conclude much of anything from a statement that says only that the ability to "administer home and visiting teaching" will be included. I don't think it's safe to assume that any particular feature will be included, and I don't think it's safe to assume that any particular feature will be not included. We'll just have to wait and see.

The LDS Tools for iOS project mailing list has a bit of info about home teaching services in LDS Tools (and therefore for Leader and Clerk Resources):

We are not currently planning on adding the ability for members to see their home or visiting teachers or who they home or visit teach. That may be something that we will add in the future based on priesthood council direction.

Will you be able to report home/visiting teaching visits through your LDS account? That feature alone would be enormously helpful and appreciated!

We do not know the scope of the HT/VT management capabilities that will come in the updated release of Leader and Clerk Resources. Since that site and the applications made available through that site are intended for leaders and clerks and not the general membership I doubt that members will be able to report their HT/VT online. The HT/VT management release later this year will be more along the lines of what is currently available in MLS. Members currently report HT/VT results to a designated leader who then inputs the results into MLS. That part most likely will not change in this HT/VT management capability online at Leader and Clerk Resources.

LDS Account would not be used for this purpose because it is a security application. When an online HT/VT reporting capablilty is released it is very likely that a member will have to sign in to the site or application using their LDS Account credentials.
