LDS tools app - Ministering assignments

As of today, I am still not seeing the ministering section within the LDS tools app. I only see ministering sisters and that still is not updated? How do we update the ministering assignments online and when will it show up in the LDS tools app?

Ministering assignments can be changed in LCR just as they were previously. You have to have the most recent version of the LDS Tools app to see ministering assignments because they changed the associated web services. The new versions were release at the beginning of August. However, it sounds like the new version can only be installed on newer versions of Android. I'm not sure about the specific cut-off. I'm not sure if the same is true for IOS.

You have to be on LDS Tools 3.5.0 or later. This is true for both Android and Apple. You can see the version in settings.

I am using the latest 3.5 version but under Reports, all I can see is ‘Ministering sisters’ only and not for the brethren’s. Can clerks mark the ministering assignments on LDS.org or only the EQ and RS presidents do this?

Yes, clerks (other than the finance clerk) can change assignments and mark interviews.

I see it in lds.org now and it looks like for the EQ Ministering assignments, they need to create Districts first before they can add assignments. We'll have to test this and see how it is working now. Thanks.

Yes, you have to first create districts. If your EQ doesn't have any districts that probably explains why you don't see anything for the ministering brethren in LDS tools.

Apps are updated, district leaders are set; members who are not in leadership roles canning see their assignments nor their ministers.

With the change from Home and Visiting Teaching to Ministering, there has been a complete rewrite of the associated code at Leader and Clerk Resources that feeds LDS Tools. Part of the change requires that the latest version of LDS Tools (version 3.5.0) be used, and that newly released version requires later versions of iOS and Android.

For details, please see the LDS Tools forum posts and the posts under either Android or iPhone/iPad LDS Tools appropriate for your device.

I only have 2 ministering districts showing up in the RS. How do I add a third?

Log in to lds.org and go to Leader and Clerk Resources (click on your name to see the LCR selection)
Click Ministering | Relief Society
On the page that opens, click the Assignments tab
click the button on the far right called Add District.

Yes, I understand that the lastest versions must be installed. I stated the the apps are updated. Everything is up to date. There no other updates to be installed. The phone and the app. All updates are completed. Members on non leadership roles still cannot see their ministers, nor their ministering assignments on their updated phones with their updates apps.

That's really strange as that's not what other people experence. There's no known setting in the new system that would cause that.

I'd suggest checking with more non-leaders, especially those who have Android. (As iOS seems to have be problematic at the moment.)

Android Version 6.0.1 and LDS Tools 3.5.1 and as of today, 8/25 I still cannot see my Ministering List that I could see prior to the update. When will this be fixed?

Suggest you send feedback within your LDSTools app. That will provide device information to the developers. Unless someone on this user-to-user forum happens to have your same versions, no-one here will likely be able to give sound advice. I have seen some other threads that indicate there have been a fair number of problems for users both Android and IOS in this new release (I am unable to install this version as my device is too old).

Is there anyway to review/edit ministering interviews from the previous quarter? I see that you can do this on LDS.org, but it looks like only current quarter is available on LDS Tools app.

It appears that LDS Tools will only give you the current quarter, so if ministering interviews need to be recorded for the previous quarter, you will need to go to LDS.org to do so.

Can't see how to edit previous quarter ministering assignments, which had not been entered correctly previously.

Log in to LCR
Select Ministering and then either Elders Quorum or Relief Society
In the options at the top (right below "Ministering Brothers" or "Ministering Sisters"), you should see a selection box that states "Current Quarter" but you can change that to the previous quarter to update the interviews

Thank you. I tried this, but when I change to the previous quarter I cannot edit the district and companionships. Our relief society president just yesterday entered the district supervisor and the companionship assignments for the current quarter, but she, too, says she can't make any changes to the previous quarter, so our report will show zero interviews when I submit it today.

That is correct. Companionship information comes from a snapshot at the end of the quarter and cannot be changed for the previous time period.

However, if individual brothers or sisters were in different companionships during the previous quarter, you will still be able to show that they participated in a ministering interview, even though the assignments may not be correct.

I'm not sure why you'd need to. The question is if the ministers have been interviewed, not "grading" the interviewer.

Our ministers have all been interviewed. I can't report that because the page that comes up when I choose "Previous Quarter" does not let me edit the districts and companionships. This is my fault. I didn't train the EQ and RS presidents how to enter/edit the ministering page until after the end of September. Apparently the districts and companionships can only be edited on the page for the current quarter. Now I see the page for the previous quarter, and there are no little circles to mark for interviews. I can orally report 100% for both RS and EQ, but I can't do it on MLS for last quarter. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I am not trying to grade the interviewers, but simply record the interviews. How can I do that on MLS if the ministering brother and sister assignments don't even show up? It is set up for the current quarter, however.

You cannot do it in MLS. You have to do it in LCR, and you should still be able to mark the interviews as completed regardless of what the ministering assignments for last quarter show.

Forums don't work that way.

There's currently no way to see your assignment on-line. Only in LDS Tools.

Through the LCR website. I don't think you can do that in Member Tools.
