LDS Tools Feedback

[russellhltn]

A number of ward members have asked about putting the lesson schedules in LDS tools.

I'm sure the issue is updating the lesson schedule to support LDS Tools. It was a quick conversion to allow shutting down the old system and I don't think it's been updated or revised since.

It's probably up to the Priesthood Department to put it on the priority list such that it will actually rise to the top.

What are your thoughts of why Lesson Schedules should go in LDS Tools, as opposed to Gospel Library?

I've seen this suggestion in the iOS forum, but would like to make it here too. A number of ward members have asked about putting the lesson schedules in LDS tools. They use the lds.org lesson schedule, but have suggested the convenience of having it on their mobile devices, where a lot of them say they are now studying the materials. I don't know if putting the lesson schedule in LDS tools is possible, but thought I would pass it on here.

Rather than waiting for the feature to be developed, they could use the calendar tool to do this already. They can include rooms or not. The appointment can include a significant amount of text, which can include whatever information about the lesson, the class, the teacher, etc. that they wish to include. It may or may not be as easy as the lesson schedule tool, and it may require duplicate effort, but if they really want it, it can be done.

FWIW,

Liz

However, if they do that, it might be a good idea to make it a separate calendar so members can choose to subscribe to it or not.

Excellent idea!

There are so many threads in here so I apologize if this is a repeat.

Is there a way to view all your Tags like in the Desert App Bookshelf, there you can view your tags Alphabetically or even by number of tags made per topic.

This would be HUGE and helpful to go back as a resource and find things.

Thanks

This sounds like a suggestion for the Gospel Library app, not for the LDS Tools app (which is the subject of this discussion).

But in any case, this forum is just a place for users to discuss issues among themselves. If you want your feedback to get to anyone who is a decision maker, then you should use the in-app Feedback option.

Yes, this feature is in the works and is coming with Gospel Library 4.0 (hopefully before the end of the year).

LDS tools should allow transparent background updates via a setting and do diffs instead of full. Literally 8-10 times had incorrect info despite updating more than 1x per month.

Web page directory is more accurate

The next thing I'd like to see out of LDS Tools is an area of communication or adding the 'newsletter' site to LDS Tools. Something like Cloud-storage. Give the Stake an area and give the Ward an area - Then let them upload docs like 'Temple Recommend Interview schedules' Stake Templates for reimbursement, Stake Conference Program, Ward Mission Plan, Ward Employment information, Ward Sacrament Program, Ward LESSON SCHEDULE, etc...

This is the next most beneficial item for every ward/stake that I can see being developed.
