Printing Covenant Path

My Ward Missionary login only gives me access to Covenant Path Progress. There are two links, one labelled Members Moved In and one labelled Covenant Path Progress. On the Members Moved In page there is a print icon which outputs (selected members or all) to a PDF which can be downloaded or printed. On the Covenant Path Progress page, there are two tabs. One for New Members and one for People Being Taught. Neither of those tab/pages have a print icon.

Using the website brower's built in print page option wastes an incredible amount of paper as it's not formatted in a table format.

I have seen a table formatted report of upcoming baptisms which seems to have been generated by the church website. So apparently this can be done.

Is this a login access problem? Is there a print feature I am not seeing? Or is this a design flaw?

The Covenant Path Progress report does not have a print function. This is intentional according to global support to protect the privacy of the individuals' information on the report. Those who need the information in the report have access through either LCR or Member Tools. Do you have a case need to print the report?

This data is not printed from the Covenant Path Progress report. It must either be manually generated or from another source, such as from the Preach My Gospel app used by missionaries serving in the ward.

No. You are seeing what is available for any ward calling with access permissions to the Covenant Path Progress report.

No to both questions. All is as intended.

A side note: You stated you are a ward missionary. Yet you signed your post as Elder Jentzen, which indicates you are a Church missionary. Are you a Church missionary serving in the capacity of a ward missionary?

My wife and I are senior missionaries serving part time as service missionaries assigned to MLS serving a ward other our home ward within the stake. Since our directive is to help the missionaries with new converts and friends being taught, I believe we were made ward missionaries so we could access Covenant Path. I'm still getting acclimated to all this. I'm a fairly recent convert; I've only been a member for six years. Only recently did I meet with the PPM President; he gave me the high level overview on how the mission is organized. It's a lot to take in.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to get the Covenant Path data into a spreadsheet to make it more useful without typing everything in manually. As an example, it'd be really useful to sort by baptism date. But that's not possible in Covenant Path.

Due to privacy concerns, most church system won't let you export the data.

I haven't see the app myself. Perhaps someone else has a way of making it do what you want.

Spending countless hours over the last 4 days, to MANUALLY copy each persons record into a spreadsheet to discuss with the Stake President and a member of the Mission Presidency is crazy, and seems to be an over reaction to "Privacy" !!

Surely the Stake President and Stake Clerk could have access to "press a button" to produce a report to help MINISTER to the flock, which surely does not breach privacy laws or intentions.

All Data has to be recorded and used correctly, and disposed of once of no longer use, which is all part of the Data Protection Laws.

Although Forum participants may give what appear to be "authoritative" responses about why Church Tech is designed certain ways, almost all of us are regular Church members like yourself, and not Church employees who can speak as such. Often one of us may receive information from the Church (GSD, Feedback responses, or other communications), and that Forum member can say that "this is what the Church told me". But most often we cannot state for certain whether a specific piece of functionality is legally required to be designed a particular way (is a Print button legal or not in this case), or is designed that way just to avoid any potential issues (could a Print button perhaps cause unforeseen problems), or maybe it's just something that hasn't been prioritized amongst Church IT's other tasks (a Print button would definitely make life easier, but since there's a manual workaround, other non-functional tasks come first), or maybe it slipped by them (how did we not put a Print button in here?). And we all definitely feel the same limitations when we try to effectively act in our own local callings.

I expect you've communicated this complicated process to your Stake President and/or Mission Presidency. Since the Tech Forum primarily serves as user-to-user discussion and self-help, our conversations are unlikely to ever be seen by anyone inside the Church's support system (although occasionally it does seem to happen). If your Stake President was convinced to bring this up in his Coordinating Council meeting (where the Mission President also attends), the Area Seventy might be persuaded to chase this down through his leadership channels.
