Processing our first donations batch via LCR went well yesterday. After logging in we opened a second browser tab to expense processing. Our finance clerk and I paid attention to steps, messages, and buttons so repetition would be easier. For second approval the clerk was forced out, the bishopric member logged in, and reports were printed. However, in the second tab the clerk remained logged in to LCR, so it seems that clerks could continue other tasks if needed, without having to log in again.
Information from this and related threads has been very helpful.
To those who experience steps or processes timing out, please share solutions either from Global Services or your own discoveries. Also, I recommend asking stake auditors to note such problems in their reports, when they visit. My hope would be to enhance coordination between financial systems decision makers and IT systems decision makers.
