Membership Record Persistent Note
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2016 4:01 pm
We have a lot of military service sisters and brothers in our ward. A couple has been called at the Stake Level to assist in ministering to these persons, especially for families with a deployed parent. We have been asked to identify as many members on our records as we can that are military.
This is a huge project for our particular ward, and the data is constantly changing. Is there any field at all in MLS or LCR that we can use to annotate this in an individual record, that will persist when the record is moved on? We know all about the custom codes, but we think that using that would be a huge waste of effort, as some of our members move out, and then back in months or years later, and the custom code data does not stay with the record.
Thank you, and I hope this request makes sense.
