Upload your three PDFs

Sign in above, then drop each PDF onto its tile. Start with the member list.

• The tool reads the PDFs, then looks up each address to place it on a map. Names, birth dates and edits stay in your browser.
• Want to look around first? Try example data loads a fake ward.
• Restart undoes every edit you make and goes back to the uploaded assignments.

Look at your ward on the map

The Ward Map tab plots every address in the ward.

• Filter by gender and age to see, for example, only youth or only single sisters.
• Dots are colored by age group and sized by gender, so clusters and empty areas stand out.

Meet the edit board

Review and Edit Assignments is where you do most of your work.

• Companionships are grouped by district, with the presidency member beside each district name.
• Each card is one companionship: the companions at the top (with their ages) and a Households list you can expand.
• Map on a card shows just that companionship's companions and households.
• Two tabs sit on the edges: Filter & sort on the left and Unassigned on the right. Click either to open or close it.

Filter companionships

Open the Filter & sort tab on the left edge. Everything under Filter narrows the cards you see.

• Name: type part of a name. Use | to look for several people at once, like Allred|Beesley|Smith. The checkboxes choose whether to search Companions, Households, or both.
• Group: Elders Quorum, Relief Society, or both.
• Companions and Households sliders: show only companionships with that many people or households. The top of each slider means “or more” (3+ and 10+).
• Average age of the companions, and has a companion under 18 (Any, Yes or No).
• The line at the top says “Showing 9 of 40 companionships”. Clear resets the filters. A dot on the tab means something is filtering.

Tip: Companionships you have just added stay visible even if they don't match, so they don't vanish.

Sort companionships

Sort is at the top of the same panel, above the filters.

• Choose Low → high or High → low first.
• Then pick what to sort by: number of companions, number of households or average age.
• Cards are sorted within each district. Original order puts them back the way the report listed them.

Move people and households

Moving is two clicks: pick it up, then choose where it goes.

• Click a name (a companion or a household). It gets an outline.
• Every other card now shows a green Move here button. Click the one you want.
• Changed your mind? Click the same name again to put it down.
• To send someone back to Unassigned, open the Unassigned tab and click its Move here button.
• To add or remove a whole companionship, see the next step.

Add and remove companionships

Need another pair of companions, or one that is no longer needed? Add an empty companionship and fill it, or remove one.

• To add: find the district's heading, such as “Elders Quorum · District 1”.
• Click + Add at the right end of the heading.
• A green card marked new appears at the end of that district's cards. It starts empty and uses that district's presidency member.
• Fill it: click a companion or household on another card, or in the Unassigned list, then click Move here on the new card. Repeat for each person and household.

Tip: New cards stay visible even when a filter would hide them, so they don't vanish while you fill them. A companionship stays in the district where it was created, so click + Add on the right one. New companionships appear in the exported PDF, with their companions highlighted.

Read the change icons

The board always shows what you have changed compared with the uploaded reports. Badges appear at the top left of a card.

• 👥 Yellow people badge: this companionship's companions are different from the original. Someone was moved in or out.
• 🏠 Yellow house badge: its households are different from the original. A household was moved in or out.
• Both badges mean both changed. The card can show one, both or neither.
• Green card marked “new”: a companionship you created.
• Restart (7) in the upload panel counts your edits. Click it to undo them all.
• The exported PDF highlights the same changes in yellow (see the export step).

Tip: In the example, a companion moved from the second card to the first (👥 on both), and a household moved from the third card to the first (🏠 on both). That is why the first card shows both badges.

Work the Unassigned list

Click the blue Unassigned tab on the right edge. The numbers on it are people / households that still need an assignment.

• Switch between People and Households. Search by name, and limit people by age.
• Click a name to pick it up, then choose a card's Move here.
• ✕ puts someone On Hold: not ready for an assignment right now. They move to a separate section and the counts no longer include them.
• On Hold people have a Visit button. Mark it to flag someone who needs a visit; they are listed on their own at the end of the exported PDF. ↺ returns them to the needs-assignment list.
• Save writes your On Hold and Visit flags to a file, and Load puts them back. See the last step for using it with updated PDFs.

Check coverage by district

The Overview of Districts and Changes tab summarizes each district.

• Companionships per district, average households per companionship, average distance to the households, and how many companionships have only one companion.
• You can also map a whole district at once.

Export and save your work

When the assignments look right, download them.

• Download PDF of edits makes a clean, printable PDF for each group (Elders Quorum or Relief Society).
• Yellow highlights mark everything you changed: companions who moved, households that moved, and the companions and households of a new companionship.
• A legend at the top of the first page explains the highlight, and it only appears when something changed.
• After the assignments comes an Unassigned section: people who need an assignment, people on hold, unassigned households and households on hold. Anyone you just took out of a companionship is highlighted there too.
• The last list is People who need a visit: everyone you marked Visit in the Unassigned sidebar.
• Your work saves automatically in this browser. To share it with another presidency member(or back it up), use Save session file; see the sign-in step.
