Although a prospective elder received the Melchizedek Priesthood and was ordained an Elder in MAR2016, he is not included in either of the following statistics for our quarterly report. how can this be fixed?

Re: New Quarterly Report
When was the ordination recorded? If it was recorded after the end of the quarter it would not be included even if the ordination happened before the deadline. Basically the systems at CHQ make a snapshot of the statistics early in the morning of the first day of the quarter based on the information available at that time. Once that snapshot is made it does not change based on information added or edited later. There is no way to update it. for this quarter the Elder will still have to be counted as a prospective elder.slawyoung wrote:Although a prospective elder received the Melchizedek Priesthood and was ordained an Elder in MAR2016, he is not included in either of the following statistics for our quarterly report. how can this be fixed?

Re: New Quarterly Report
if your theory is correct, I'm not sure as he'd be counted for "Prospective elders advanced to the Melchizedek Priesthood" in the next quarter either, since I'd expect the query to look at the ordination date. (Although, it might look at the recorded date, but it might have to dig though a log to do so.)eblood66 wrote:When was the ordination recorded?

Re: New Quarterly Report
True. I wonder if they did account for that somehow or if it's a hole that will miss some priesthood advancements.russellhltn wrote:if your theory is correct, I'm not sure as he'd be counted for "Prospective elders advanced to the Melchizedek Priesthood" in the next quarter either, since I'd expect the query to look at the ordination date.

Re: New Quarterly Report
For a Temple Submission to count in our reports - there are rules - I want to make sure I understand all the rules
It has to be the first time it was submitted
It may be synonymous but it can't be a duplicate
Does it need to be in the first 4 generations?
Anything else?
Thanks.

Re: New Quarterly Report
I believe it only counts when you submit it for the first ordinance; you don't get separate credit if you separately submit for BC, then I, then E, then SP, then SS.kdaymayday wrote:For a Temple Submission to count in our reports - there are rules - I want to make sure I understand all the rules

I'm not sure what you mean by "duplicate" -- it can't have the same ID, but beyond that, it's certainly possible that it is a distinct person in FamilySearch with a different ID, but refers to the same historical person. Nonetheless, it will still count as a separate submission.kdaymayday wrote:It may be synonymous but it can't be a duplicate
No. There is no restriction on how closely an individual is related for it to count.kdaymayday wrote:Does it need to be in the first 4 generations?
Note that a submission counts when the ordinance is on a printed FOR or printed temple cards, or is shared with the Temple. It does not count to simply reserve a name.kdaymayday wrote:Anything else?

Re: New Quarterly Report
It should also be pointed out, for the report I think you're referring to, it's only the number of members who have submitted names - NOT the number of names submitted.
