It would be very helpful if the Stake could view the wards' home teaching assignments in the Stake's MLS.

Okay, I'll bite. Why? It isn't a stake responsibility, it is the ward's. Specifically, quorum and group leaders oversee home teaching, under the direction of the bishop.

Welcome to the forum! I would also find this useful in some of the tasks assigned to me as the Stake Assistant Clerk.ThomsonJ wrote:It would be very helpful if the Stake could view the wards' home teaching assignments in the Stake's MLS.
I don't need to "oversee" it, but sometimes for different situations stake leaders need to "view" specifics of ward hometeaching efforts, individually or collectively. I have in the past month. What problem would it create to give the stake "viewing rights" to the wards home teaching assignments, and even specific home teaching statistics?allenjpl wrote:Specifically, quorum and group leaders oversee home teaching, under the direction of the bishop.
The main 'problem' is that the data is only stored locally in the Ward MLS.kisaac wrote: What problem would it create to give the stake "viewing rights" to the wards home teaching assignments, and even specific home teaching statistics?
Not being a stake clerk, I'm afraid I still don't understand what kind of situations would call for the ability to drill down to the detail you're requesting. If there is an issue with a particular member, home teacher, or companionship, it seems that would best be resolved at the ward level. If you want to see whether the EQ President is doing all the home teaching, ask him (although he has the keys to determine how a particular family should be taught, and if he wants to do it himself, that's his prerogative). The stake should get a report of the statistics, which they do, and the Stake Presidency and the Stake Executive Secretary reviews the status of home teaching in the stake, at a stake-wide level. The people who should be reviewing the status of home teaching at a ward level are the bishop and the ward executive secretary (13.4.4 in Handbook 1).kisaac wrote:I would also find this useful in some of the tasks assigned to me as the Stake Assistant Clerk.
