Would you point me to where this has been stated, please.lajackson wrote:Also keep in mind that MLS functions are scheduled to move to LCR by the end of the year.
I'm not sure which set of custom reports you're referring to. If you mean the reports on that wiki page, then I don't see how the above statement is true, since only one of the reports has any reference to home teachers, and even that reference is not essential.lajackson wrote:Finally, since home and visiting teaching information does not flow back to MLS, almost all of those custom reports will no longer be accurate or useful.

I misspoke. In that same LDSTech Broadcast I mentioned two posts ago, Brian Fromm stated that Custom Reports are on the list of things that still need to move from MLS to LCR. It is the next to last item on the list. That would seem to be an indication the custom reports are coming to LCR, hopefully later this year.lajackson wrote:Keep in mind that custom reports are not available in LCR. There has been no indication so far whether or not they will become available.
Note that Brian Fromm's statement pertains only to Membership functions; over 10 months ago the plan was to move the membership functions from MLS to LCR by the end of 2016. I don't know if that is still the schedule, but in any case, it was never the plan to have all the finance functions moved over to LCR that quickly.lajackson wrote:The July 17, 2015 LDSTech Broadcast on Leader and Clerk Resources by Brian Fromm.

Thanks all for the information. That broadcast completely slipped by me.lajackson wrote:The July 17, 2015 LDSTech Broadcast on Leader and Clerk Resources by Brian Fromm.

There is a lot of really cool information that just slid by in that broadcast. I was quite surprised, but very pleased, at his candor. I would be happy if most of it came true.Biggles wrote:Thanks all for the information.
