Church Employee
The beta version of the new Newsletter application will be available mid-February. This will replace the News and Information section that is currently available on the Classic Stake & Ward Websites.
Please keep the following in mind when working with the Newsletter beta and when posting on this forum:
1. When submitting a post to report a bug or issue, please include as much detail as possible. Please ensure that it will be easy to understand and reproduce if possible by our development team. See below for complete instructions on how to report a bug or issue.
2. Please be patient and kind. Remember we are a small team with limited resources, trying to build a tool that meets the needs of many different unit types across the world.
The purpose of this forum is to provide a mechanism for you, as beta testers, to get information about the problems you find to the development team directly. We hope to use this type of beta test in the future to improve the quality of all the tools we provide to church units.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING A BUG OR OTHER ISSUE:
If you find an issue in this application, following these instructions and being patient and helpful will greatly increase the chances of that issue being addressed by the development team.
1. Provide a clear, easy to follow list of steps to reproduce the issue you are reporting.
2. Provide as much additional detail as possible (e.g. your calling and/or role within the application)
3. Be clear as to whether the problem happens every time, once in a while, only a single instance, etc.
4. If you are familiar with web development and comfortable using a tool like firebug, provide as much additional technical information as you can discover.
5. If your issue seems to be a display issue, or other issue on the client side, you may want to try your issue in another browser to determine if it is browser specific or not.
6. Be prepared to respond to additional questions on the forum to help us investigate the problem.
NOTE ON PRIVACY
As you share information on the forum, be VERY careful not to inadvertently share private information about other members of your local unit(s), such as names, membership numbers, or contact information. If you paste data from the application into a forum post, make sure it does not contain any of this private information before clicking the submit button.
Feel free to explore the Newsletter app in as many ways as you like. We will retain the articles, categories, and other settings that you enter. Content will not be reset or deleted when the application becomes official. However, you can always delete articles that you create.
Finally, thank you so much for your help in making this a successful, useful application.
