Full time missionary not shown on LDS Tools iPhone app
We have a missionary serving from our ward who does NOT show up on the "Missionaries" list in LDS Tools (iPhone). I'm referring to the menu items accessed from the menu icon in the upper left corner of the main app screen. (Directory, Callings, Missionary, etc.). In the Missionary list, it has a section called "Serving Missionaries" and there are eight full-time missionaries listed there. But one is missing. If I open lds.org/lcr, and look at Leader and Clerk Resources, Organizations, and then select "Full Time Missionaries" it shows nine missionaries, including the one missionary missing from the iPhone app. (His listed start date is 16 Sept 2015.) Interestingly, the iPhone app does show one missionary couple with a later start date. How can I make the missing missionary show up on LDS Tools?

What happens if you go to the Directory? Does it show 9 or 8?trohlfing wrote:If I open lds.org/lcr, and look at Leader and Clerk Resources, Organizations, and then select "Full Time Missionaries" it shows nine missionaries, including the one missionary missing from the iPhone app.

Which "directory" are you talking about? The directory in LDS Tools doesn't show missionaries grouped together. But the missing missionary does show up under his family on the directory.

On the left side, select "Missionary". You should see all full-time missionaries serving in the ward as well as serving from the ward.
If you have access, it might be interesting to check the missionary's privacy settings in his family. I don't think that has an effect, but it's worth checking.

Re: Full time missionary not shown on LDS Tools iPhone app
OK, thanks for the clarification. When I look there (lds.org, Missionary), I see all nine expected missionaries. I looked at the missionary's records, and also his father's records, on lds.org/lcr. (I am the ward clerk.) I didn't see anything indicting any privacy settings there. I presume you mean the "contact settings" that one can see on his own profile. I didn't see any way I as the ward clerk can see his privacy settings. If he was set to "private" would that cause this issue?

I'm not sure if there's privacy settings in LCR. But as a ward clerk, you should be able to edit the contact information and privacy settings in the directory for all of the ward members.trohlfing wrote:I looked at the missionary's records, and also his father's records, on lds.org/lcr.

I wouldn't think privacy settings would affect this, but I'm trying to think of what might be different that's causing the issue.

Yes on the sync, and I just re-sync'd, with no change in the result.aebrown wrote:Have you recently done a Sync in LDS Tools?trohlfing wrote:How can I make the missing missionary show up on LDS Tools?
