Can a mailing address be added for a household profile?

In MLS, if you go to update the address, you'll see a section for mailing address.

I'm not sure if you can still edit membership information in MLS but you can enter a mailing address in LCR as well. Find the member profile in LCR, select the Individual Tab, click the edit icon on the right and then uncheck the box under Mailing Address.

How do I enable HT/VT routes in LDS tools for all members of our ward/stake? It exists for only a few but I know it is available to all.

You can't. It's not available. It's only for selected ward leaders. Possibly as broad as ward council members.alanmccorkle wrote:How do I enable HT/VT routes in LDS tools for all members of our ward/stake? It exists for only a few but I know it is available to all.

Thanks for the reply although I am extremely disappointed in the answer. What point is there in having a tool if it is not available to all EQ/RS members?
New Member
I just received confirmation from a leader in a neighboring Stake that the information is available to all members, not just those in leadership positions. I guess the next step will be to contact HQ for official guidance.

I'd want him to show me. Many times leaders only check with their friends who are also leaders and make incorrect conclusions. This has been a frequent request in the forum, but you're the first to claim it's widely available.
If it's true, then it's probably a beta test.

I was quite explicit with my request and it was verified at both the leader and non-leader levels on both mobile platforms.

Let us know what you find out.

Definitely.

Note that "leader" can include, for example, an assistant secretary or a counselor. Be sure to find out the calling of the person who can see home or visiting teaching routes as a "non-leader."

And make sure they're using their login on LDS Tools and not their spouse's. (I've see that a few times.)sbradshaw wrote:Be sure to find out the calling of the person who can see home or visiting teaching routes as a "non-leader."

Russell,
You were correct. I'll spare you the details of my conversation with my bro-in-law in the neighboring stake (sigh) and skip to the feedback I received from HQ today. This pretty well sums up where we are and where they HOPE to go with future development.
BR,

"You are right, for now, it is confusing, and I will try to explain in a simple way the why it is happening the way it is happening, and our look towards the future.
Currently, only leaders (Bishoprics, Ward Council members, etc) can see the HT and VT information. Members without a ward council calling, cannot see this information. We would love to expose this information to the regular membership of the church, however, because of the way the backend services that LDS Tools and LCR link into, it isn’t possible until we have the time (and budget) to go through a lengthy re-write of those services. Currently, when a change is made to a companionship in the system, that change is immediately exposed to LDS tools. If the change hasn’t been approved by the bishop, it could pre-announce a change to a companionship. So an EQP, HPG, or RS President that is making changes in the system to review with the Bishop, could accidentally pre-announce a change to a companionship via LDS Tools.
In the future we plan on creating a sandbox where the aux leadership could make proposed changes, get them approved, and then move those changes “live” where they would then be exposed to the general membership of the church via LDS tools, etc.
I know for now it’s frustrating and confusing, but hopefully, we can make that change soon. It’s all dependent on our priesthood department and leadership priorities and budgets."

Well! That's a new revelation. Clearly, I've been misreading the tea leaves about the future of that feature. I hadn't thought of that angle, but that makes sense. And it's not a trivial level of development to implement, so that may take some time before all the higher priority things are taken care of.alanmccorkle wrote:If the change hasn’t been approved by the bishop, it could pre-announce a change to a companionship.
And I wouldn't mind the condensed story about what happened, so I can add it to my collection.

Why don’t ward members have different names in LDS tools and Home Teaching families?....
