StickyRecording Contacts to Unassigned Sisters

Since the category "Contacts to Unassigned Sisters" appears on the Statistics by Month chart, I assume there is a way to enter contacts to sisters who have not yet been assigned a visiting teacher. I cannot find a way to enter those contacts. How do I enter visits made to those new sisters who have not yet been assigned a visiting teacher?

You can enter these visits from the Overview tab or the Household tab.

On the Household tab, find the sister in question and you can enter visits for the last three months right there. If you need to enter visits older than three months, click on the sister's name and click "View Household Profile."

On the Overview tab, find the sister in the list of Sisters Not Assigned to be Contacted. Click on the sister's name and choose "View Household Profile."

When finished viewing the household profile, click the Done button at the upper left to return to the previous list.

Just followed your directions!! Thank you so much for the information.

Was just coming here to find information on the same subject. Thanks for the help.

I am the Visiting Teaching Coordinator. We have several non-member sisters that are in a part member home. They have Visiting Teachers, and we were able to record those visits in our MLS. However, now they don't show up and we can't figure out how to add them to visiting teaching routes and record the visits made..I would appreciate your help!

Unfortunately, the ability to have non-member records (which is the way you could assign them visiting teachers in MLS) has been removed due to privacy reasons. So it's no longer possible to assign them to companionship or record visits. You'll need to keep track of visiting teaching for these sisters outside the normal system.

I don't understand how this number is computed. For example, mine says 0/4 for Oct, but I have ZERO "Sisters Not Assigned to be Contacted". I don't know who those 4 are . . I have 2 sister missionaries and they aren't assigned because they don't show up in the 'list'. So where does the 4 come from?

How many sisters did you have unassigned at the beginning of October?

Possibly compounded by sisters moving out since Oct 31.

I honestly don't know how many I had unassigned at the beginning of the month - I would like to say zero as well, for I redid the whole thing in October. But I did have to wait for September reporting before all the changes could be made. And when we had 2 move-ins during the month, I assigned them to my route. You don't know where this number comes from?

The bottom numbers are calculated around the beginning of the month. Currently, they don't change throughout the month. If you make a bunch of changes in the middle of the month you won't see those changes reflected (in the bottom number) until the next month. Some people would agree with the methodology, some may prefer that it update throughout the month as changes are made, but that's what it currently is right now.

Since it kicks down the overall percentage, I would be one who thinks it should change throughout the month as you change things to accurately reflect what is going on, not be some number created 30 days prior. And can you tell me PLEASE, who are these people? Now I have 0/3 for November, with again "Sisters Not Assigned to be Contacted" as zero. WHO are these 3? I don't understand the use of this category even, maybe I'd better research that too. My new move-ins are assigned, where does this number come from? Please.

I was just called as a visiting teaching coordinator and my predecessor gave me a list of sisters not assigned to be contacted that included addresses. My RS President wants a cleaned up version of the lists, but when I go to print the sisters not assigned to be contacted, it only shows names. How do I print a list with addresses?

Is there a way to allow sisters/visiting teachers the ability to access the sisters they teach and record visits; same as district supervisors can do? This way the district supervisor can open the program and see who as already reported visits and who she needs to contact. If a sister need to report needs, she of course would have to call to do that. I tried adding teachers to callings but it didn't allow them to access the VT report for the sisters they teach. I hope I have explained this well, if you need additional explanation, please let me know.

No. And from what we've heard, that's not coming any time soon - possibly never.

The best guess as to why is that HT/VT is much more than just an assignment and a check box. To fulfill the vision outlined in the Handbook, there there may be things that need to be communicated that needs to happen person-to-person and not recorded where it could be misconstrued.
