Assistant technology specialists

Both the directory and Tools apply the visibility rules that prevent you from seeing youth outside your own ward.

Thanks, but doesn't that go against the wording in Adding Technology Specialist Callings in LCR (below)?

Adding stake technology specialists (STSs), district technology specialists (DTSs), and assistant technology specialists (ATSs) in Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) yields the following benefits:

1. It allows Church headquarters to send communications directly to technology specialists. Learn more about technology specialist communications.
2. It allows Church headquarters to offer training to technology specialists. Learn more about technology specialist training.
3. It allows people in the stake or district to see in the Member Tools app and the ChurchofJesusChrist.org directory whom to contact for assistance related to Church technology.
4. It gives technology specialists access to systems such as Technology Manager.

Since an ATS can be assigned duties outside of their own ward, maybe the wording in the document above needs to be changed to indicate that youth called as ATS's may not be visible to all members of the stake.

The position of Assistant Technology Specialist has been eliminated. They are now just Technology Specialist. See 33.10 in the general handbook.

Interestingly, the Meetinghouse Technology Training (last updated Sep 2022) still refers to ATS as follows: "Assistant Technology Specialist (ATS): ATSs are called by the stake presidency to assist an STS. ATSs may be assigned to support a ward, building, or organization or to manage a specific technology."

We all know that documentation often lags the Handbook (and sometimes it's the other way around!), so I don't doubt that this help doc may not have been synced with recent changes. However, I don't believe that every valid calling is listed in the Handbook, so just pointing this out, in case ATS falls into that category of a calling that exists but isn't spec'd out in the GHB.

Seems like a situation ripe for hitting the "feedback" link.
