Membership clerk can't create custom reports online

It looks like stake membership clerks can't create custom reports using LCR (the option isn't available to our stake membership clerk). And this very old thread seems to concur: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=31403&p=182580&hil ... ip#p182580

I get frequent requests for various kinds of reports. For example, I was recently asked to produce a list of Russian speakers which is done by looking for people who served a mission speaking Russian or may have been born in Russia. Our stake membership clerk couldn't spin that up without going to the church to use MLS, and even then he found that MLS didn't offer all the fields he needed to sort on. So I added it to my list of things to take care of on LCR.

I'd like to be able to utilize our membership clerk for membership type reports like this. It appears to be policy (encoded in the software) that they can't. Why can't they create custom reports?

I do not know the answer to your question, other than that those who instruct the software developers have required more limited access to the custom report features of LCR.

If you feel strongly otherwise, the way to voice your suggestions is either through the feedback link, or through your bishop or stake president, who will pass the suggestion up through priesthood channels. Either way the suggestion gets to the developers, but the latter probably has a better chance of influencing the actual decision by those who provide the instructions to those who code the website.

My calling was changed from Ward Clerk to Assistant Ward Clerk and now I can't access the custom reports that I created.
Maybe with the new restrictions on the number of clerks in a ward, the custom reports can be made available for all clerks?
