As a priesthood leader I have a couple of feature request suggestions for LCR and for members...not where where to post this or to see if these suggestions are already considered or on a site we vote up or down features suggested by others.
idea 1: have a place in LCR on the dashboard we can go to see all recent changes to any membership records (new temple ordinances recorded, address changes, phone number changes, membership records received, membership records moved away). This would make it much easier for people to know in council meetings updates.
Noticing the donations tab appear in LCR finance today I I suspect MLS will be retired soon as donations are all we process in MLS today. However when MLS does a send/receive we get a print out of any new membership received and any membership with an update. It would be awesome if MLS highlighted what changed on a record we already have...but I suspect MLS is being retired so no update would be coming to MLS.
An automated email to the bishopric or branch presidency each Saturday night summarizing of all changes in the prior week would be really useful.
idea 2: have a way for parents of missionaries to see the status of the finances for their missionary. I realize with donations being confidential we may not be able to see who donated...but being able to just know if your missionary account is under or over would be really useful for parents to be able to see without having to require clerks to manually process status requests periodically. Parents do not always know how much is being contributed by other generous donors to the missionary account. Expected donors could be invited by the family of the missionary to donate a unique amount so we can know who made that donation without breaking confidential information of donors. Grandma Jones could contribute $51 per month and Grandpa Smith could contribute $52 per month and then if parents saw dates and amounts and a running balance they could see if/when and how much the missionary account needs topped off for the next month.
