Something like "Membership Record Update Report" online

#1

Post by williamjackson »

It would be nice to have online access to some sort of log of changes to membership records in the ward. I imagine something that takes the place of the Membership Record Update Report that MLS attempts to print when changes to membership records are made. If the long-term goal is to retire MLS completely and do everything online, a log such as this would be invaluable.

If a membership record gets pulled from my ward, the only chance I have to see where it went is if I happen to be the one that did a Send/Receive on MLS when the change came down and I look at the Update Report. This is just one example of where an online log would be nice.

It would also be great if such a log recorded who made changes to a membership record. Some more examples:


"John Smith individual phone number update by William Jackson (Ward Clerk)."

"John Smith updated his own household phone number."

"John Smith household records moved out to X Ward, Y Stake, by Bill Clerk (Assistant Clerk--Membership)."

"John Smith individual record moved out to X Ward, Y Stake, requested by remote ward."


I already submitted feedback on lds.org for this, but I wanted to mention it here to see if anyone else desires such a feature.

This would be great! Especially for coordinating work between a ward clerk, bishopric, and assistant clerks...

Please don't post personal information of other people here. This is a public forum visible to anyone on the planet with internet access. Please talk with the ward clerk of the ward or branch in which those people live.

If your membership record has an error and needs to be corrected you will need to speak to your ward clerk to get any changes made. Nobody here can do that.
