Verify Family Information Updates

This article provides steps to verify family information updates.

When you request updated family information, and a family updates their information, the updates are held in a pending state for you to review before accepting or declining. A notification card appears on the Directory Dashboard to alert you to existing updates.

For information regarding address changes from the Post Office, please see Verify Address Changes from the Post Office.

Complete the following the steps to verify family information updates:

1. In Directory, select Dashboard in the main menu.

2. The Family Information Update notification card appears on the dashboard, indicating the number of pending family updates. Click the Verify Changes button to view the pending updates.

The Family Registrations card displays the updated registrations.

Note* When you click the Verify Changes button, the Family Registrations card is automatically filtered for updated registrations. To view new family registrations, family information updates, or both groups, select the appropriate filters.

You can sort the Family Registrations card by registration type (new family or updates), family name, date requested and date received. Click the column header to sort the results card by the data in the column in an ascending or descending order.

3. Review the updated information. Information the family has changed appears in bold.

When you accept a family information update, the new information is automatically incorporated into Directory. Accepted updates are noted on the Activity Page for the family. You can accept all updates at once or accept individual updates.
