Reporting meetinghouse repairs?

In the recent past I used an online form or app to report a needed meetinghouse repair. It allowed for uploading a photo and tracking progress of the request.

I can't find that form or app anymore. My searches here and on lds.org have not been fruitful. Where do I go to report a needed building repair? :|

Seems to be a problem with the "tools" on lds.org. It's not showing anything under "Tools for Your Callings and Responsibilities".

You're talking about Facility Issue Reporting, found at lds.org/fir.

Thank you for the URL. I entered a record.

I've heard that not all FM groups use the system completely. You might follow up with them to make sure they got the report, unless you see other items in progress on the site.

I see CDOL, Donations, and FIR right at the top of that section. But to be even faster use the drop down menu where you sign in, Tools and Support in the right column, next to last entry.

On a smaller screen you would have to scroll down to get to it. The menu is rather long.

All I can say is that what I see now is different from what I saw before.

Happens all the time. [grin]

Sometimes it happens because the page does not fully render. Sometimes it happens because things are busy and you hit a server that is not dispositioned the same as the other servers. And sometimes it just happens for no apparent reason at all, though I am sure there is one.

And then there are the browser differences. Every browser has a different way of displaying the page and whether or not certain items are even displayed at all. I would think there would be a way to fix this in our modern day and age, but is appears there is not, or surely they would.

I can confirm the same behavior russellhiltn reported. We saw it a month or so ago - the FIR link completely disappeared for about a day. The Counselors in 2 different wards and the Clerks could not see it to report a facility issue. I searched on LDS.org and found a link in an article that worked so we could get ours reported that day. Our Physical Facilities group does use the system.

A couple of days later, I noticed the FIR link was back when I logged in to LDS.org. Lajackson, your information is good to know and I will pass it along to our bishopric in case it happens again in the future.

You'll need to talk to your PFR, the person designated at the Physical Facilities Representative. This is a user-to-user support forum. No one here can do that for you.

Our building on 6200 S. 4115 west the sprinklers are coming on every night. I have tried to contact someone for help with this. Thanks.

This needs to be reported via FIR by someone who has access. I believe that includes pretty much the entire ward council. No one here can do that for you.

It can be reported either in the FIR app or at fir.churchofjesuschrist.org
