My wife has been the VT Coordinator for nearly five years. She has been maintaining all the VT districts, companionships, and visit data in a spreadsheet, and reporting summary statistics to the ward clerk. A few minutes ago, I asked her if she had seen the new VT feature on LCR, and she said she had never used LCR because she didn't think she had access to anything.russellhltn wrote:Also, since the system has the raw data, does the clerk need to be involved in the HT/VT numbers? Before, the clerk needed to coordinate with the groups to make sure the HT/VT lists were in sync with the membership records (if they were not being kept in MLS). But with everything on-line, I'm not sure as that applies. Everyone is working from the same list.
When she first connected to LCR and viewed Visiting Teaching, she was amazed by two things:
- How badly outdated the companionships and visit data was.
- How easy this new feature is to use.
She is excited that she will be able to use LCR rather than a spreadsheet to organize and record visiting teaching. She has always been frustrated because she doesn't learn about move-ins and move-outs until months after the fact. This new tool will give her greater access and visibility.
