Hi. Several months ago there was a change announced where the organizations (Young Women, Primary, etc.) would have access to the adults serving in their organizations to record their attendance. This was brilliant as it saves interruptions by the RS secretary to take their attendance. This function has never worked in my ward. We have deleted, reinstalled, resynced, powered off and back on, etc. and nothing works. I contacted HQ and was told that each member of the organization had to go through all the steps I mentioned then send their own feedback to HQ so they could evaluate it. These women are already incredibly busy (and working for free) and many are not tech savvy at all. This request was not practical - particularly if there is a problem within the system. Whether from iPhone or Android. Now I cannot find this update notice on the "See the latest updates to the General Handbook" website. Has this been eliminated?

The same thing happened in December 2025. There was an update issued that said that the Bishop was not required to give funds to anyone who was not "PROGRESSING ALONG THE COVENANT PATH." That, also, is no longer to be found.

The issue is that when handbook updates are issued - many want to comply. When the updates are "un" issued, there is no notice to those trying to make the system work that the policy was retracted. I lot of time is spent trying to figure out how to make things work only to discover they are not available after all.

Is anyone actually using the attendance within the organizations or has this been "un" issued as a policy? Thanks!!

One part should have read: "The same thing happened in December 2025. There was an update issued that said that the Bishop was not required to give funds to anyone who was not "PROGRESSING THROUGH THE SELF-RELIANCE PROGRAM" That, also, is no longer to be found.
