In the light of LDSCallings.com being shutdown 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?
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?
Important Notice: Site Shutdown
After consultation and under the direction of Church leadership, the difficult decision has been made to shut down LDSCallings. This site will no longer be available after January 31st 2025.
On this date, all user data and accounts will be permanently deleted.
For support:
• Wards/Branches: Please contact your Stake or District leaders.
• Stakes/Districts: Contact your local Area Office for further assistance, if required.

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.

As a clerk multiple times over, and an ExecSec in both ward and stake level - it is hard to understand why church resources haven't been dedicated to putting in a system to fix this. As as been said, at the stake level, this is hugely complicated and keeping wards notified where things are in the process is so frustrating at the ward level.
This is my almost 16th year of desiring this to be part of the online tools the church provides... still waiting...

Haven't looked into it. As stake exec sec I've always done HC approval and calling extending relating messaging myself via email or sms (depending on time requirements) if we can't get it done in a HC meeting soon enough.
