MLS to LDS Tools

#1

Post by joejohn »

I have our callings all up to date and organized on MLS, but only a handful of organizations are being shown on LDS tools app. How do I get all callings to appear on LDS Tools?

LDS tools gets its organizations/callings from CDOL, so the first thing to do is check that they are correct in CDOL. Another place to check is in the lds.org directory. The LDS tools app uses the almost identical service calls to get the callings from CDOL.

How do I make sure CDOL is correct, and how do I make changes in it?

Go to CDOL or if you are signed in to lds.org you will have it on your tools menu based on your calling. Once in CDOL search on your ward and click on show all positions.

In general you make changes in CDOL via MLS.

In your case it looks like you have a lot of custom positions. Those don't show up in the directory or LDS tools yet. I know they have it in the code, but I don't know the release time frame of that change.

Keep in mind that custom positions cause a number of problems. Including not getting the proper rights to various websites. Always use Standard Positions whenever practical. There is a tool in MLS to find all the custom positions and try to standardize them.
