Indexing Out, Get Involved In (March 25, 2026)

This class provides a short history of indexing and explains why it was stopped, then introduces Get Involved and shows where to find it.  The bulk of the lesson will cover an introduction to the different activities that can be done in Get Involved.  Then it will show how to use the Get Involved app.  Finally we will demonstrate how your activity in Indexing and Get Involved has been tracked since 2006 - as found in My Contributions and Reports Beta (for LDS members with certain callings.)

Temple Ordinance Opportunities appears to be part of a wide-spread initiative the Church is conducting in providing multiple ways to interest and encourage members to become engaged in taking their own family members to the temple. This tool is still in the exploratory phase but shows a lot of promise in helping patrons find relatives to submit by going to their fan chart and choosing a line to explore for people with green temples or the yellow temples (meaning more information is needed.)  Come join us and learn where to find this tool and how to best use it.

Since these changes can impact every user that submits names to the temple is it important that we know these policies for our own use and for the benefit of all we work with.
