I am no longer able to view the ministering sister companionship assignments and interview reports in each ward, whereas it was previously available to me. Please advise.
Stake Relief Society Access to Ward Information
Church Employee
LCR allows you to see ministering assignments for each ward but does not provide access for the stake Relief Society to view reports.

What should I do if I can no longer see their ministering assignments? Would access need to be resolved on the stake level?
Community Administrator
Access is determined by the standard position (calling) you're recorded with. Stake leaders (side from the stake presidency) are frequently surprised at how little access they have.
From Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) FAQs:
From Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) FAQs:
A more detailed breakdown of the stake relief society calling can be found in Handbook 2: 9.8.2. It's also available in the LDS Gospel Library App.Why do stake and auxiliary leaders and high councilors have only limited access to LCR?
Stake auxiliary leaders and high councilors are primarily responsible to instruct and support ward auxiliary and Melchizedek Priesthood leaders. They orient newly called ward auxiliary and Melchizedek Priesthood leaders and provide encouragement, support, and instruction. They are not responsible for individual ward members. It is the ward clerk’s responsibility to train ward auxiliary and Melchizedek Priesthood leaders on record-keeping tools and responsibilities. If stake auxiliary leaders and high councilors need a list of members for planning purposes, they should request this information through the ward or stake clerk.

You should be able to see ministering assignments by going to LCR and choosing Ministering > Reports > Ministering Assignments from the menu. I just verified that is working correctly.

I am using Safari and a Samsung phone and can't access the reports. My safari is updated and when I click on the report, it won't bring up the report. I am not sure how to fix this. I got in on a friends computer, but I can't see the third quarter information to enter my ministering report. Help.

I am able to view the ministering assignments with no problems. On the access table, it shows that the Stake Relief Society Presidency can also view ministering interviews. I was able to see these before this weekend and now cannot. Has it changed or moved? This report is a huge help to me to know what to share when I visit with ward Relief Society Presidents.scgallafent wrote:You should be able to see ministering assignments by going to LCR and choosing Ministering > Reports > Ministering Assignments from the menu.

You've been added to the latest beta and it isn't visible in the current iteration of the beta. I don't think that is being removed for stake Relief Society, but I would have to ask the product manager to be sure.

How do I train new ward Relief Society presidents about using the welfare online access when I can't access the sections for food orders?

From the LCR FAQS: "Stake auxiliary leaders and high councilors are primarily responsible to instruct and support ward auxiliary and Melchizedek Priesthood leaders. They orient newly called ward auxiliary and Melchizedek Priesthood leaders and provide encouragement, support, and instruction. ... It is the ward clerk’s responsibility to train ward auxiliary and Melchizedek Priesthood leaders on record-keeping tools and responsibilities."ccnuttall wrote:How do I train new ward Relief Society presidents about using the welfare online access when I can't access the sections for food orders?
Given the access, I guess the idea is for stake leaders to teach principles and the clerk to teach the tools. Otherwise, the training would have to be "over the shoulder" training.

I am a ward clerk, but I don't believe I have access to the food order system. I will poke around to see if I can find it.
Edit:
Found it!

should stake relief society presidencies conduct ministering interviews in their assigned wards
New Member
If a face to face interview has not taken place within the quarter but at least one of the assigned Ministering sisters has provided feedback via phone. email or suchlike, can it be recorded as a ministering interview being done in that quarter being done

I see nothing in Handbook 2: 9.5 and 9.8 that suggests they would be.jamess1 wrote:should stake relief society presidencies conduct ministering interviews in their assigned wards
15.4.1 says: "The principal responsibilities of stake auxiliary presidencies are to assist the stake presidency and to instruct and support ward auxiliary presidencies. They do not fulfill assignments that should be fulfilled on the ward or family level."
As such, I could see a stake RS presidency sitting in as part of training, but it seems pretty clear they wouldn't be doing the work.

Good question. Handbook 2: 9.5.4 does say "Interviews ... need not be long to be effective." and "Preferably" it's done face to face with both ministers. However, I personally hesitate to call a one-way communication like a voice message or a email an "interview". Ultimately, it's the local leaders that have the keys to interpret the Handbook. If they have questions, they can consult with their presiding authority.jamess1 wrote:If a face to face interview has not taken place within the quarter but at least one of the assigned Ministering sisters has provided feedback via phone. email or suchlike, can it be recorded as a ministering interview being done in that quarter being done
