Move-in and Move-outs:
I was trying to help the newly assigned Ward Historian do her 2014 History report.
She wanted Move-in and Move-outs for the last year:
The Move-in/Move-out needs a date range setting that can go back beyond 12 months and end on Dec 31.
Ward History friendly?

Officers Sustained forms:
I was trying to help the newly assigned Ward Historian do her 2014 History report.
She wanted the Officers Sustained forms for the last year:
We were to pull them from MLS. We had none saved for the last year!
When this function gets added to LCR I hope a "save" for historian purposes is encouraged.
Could we include in move-outs our recording of deaths? for history purposes?

- You can use the system as it is now to gather this data, but it requires you to plan ahead and generate a report right as the year ends. Obviously it's too late for that for 2014, but you could learn from this experience and make a note to generate the report on December 31, 2015.
- A clerk can use a custom report in MLS to generate a list of move-ins as far back as you'd like. But that's not an option for move-outs.
- Storing the data required for a Move-out list requires MLS (or some other system) to retain information about records that are no longer in the ward. It makes sense that such data would have a cutoff, so that this data would not accumulate for and be retained years into the future. For most purposes, 12 months seems adequate. For this particular case, I can see why you might want a bit more than 12 months, but it's certainly not a common use case.

The instructions on the form itself say: "After the conference, the ward clerk should give this form to the stake clerk to be included in the Annual History for Stakes and Districts (32299)."aschmidt21 wrote:Officers Sustained forms:

So if these instructions were properly followed, the stake clerk will have a copy of the form from your last ward conference.

Re: Ward History friendly?
I believe that would be move-ins that are still "in". I'm not sure how you'd identify a move-in and back out during the year.aebrown wrote:A clerk can use a custom report in MLS to generate a list of move-ins as far back as you'd like.
