Keeping track of callings - LDSCallings.com being shut down

#1

Post by ayoward »

Hi folks,

In the light of LDSCallings.com being shutdown :cry: which I have found invaluable over the years at stake level for keeping track of callings, sustainings etc. does anyone have any tips on spreadsheets or their preferred way of keeping track of callings?

Many thanks,

Andrew

We use trello at the stake level, but anything that lets you create lists would work (excel etc).

Just set up the lists you need (under consideration, need to pray about, need to call, need to sustain, update LCR, completed, etc), and move people between the lists as the calling progresses.

Thanks for your response. That's really helpful. Does Trello have the ability to trigger an email the High Council for sustaining votes if it gets moved into a certain column?

It would be interesting to know what the issue was. It doesn't seem to scrape membership info like other sites have done. But it does violate my personal advice of not entering things about other people into a non-church website.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

Came to ask about a replacement as well. Sure was handy to manage HC approvals assigning to extend callings, etc
