On the "Family History Activity Report", what is the technical definition of the "Members Submitting This Year" metric?

Is it:

 

1. A member who reserves an ordinance?
2. A member who prints a name card?
3. A member who completes an ordinance?
4. A member who shares a name with the temple?
5. Something else?

Submitter: A member is counted once who submits one or more names for temple work. A submission includes

• printing a Family Ordinance Request,
• printing a family name card,
• or sharing a name with the temple

 

What information is on the Family History Activity Report (FHAR)?

what about teens that use a parent's account? Or in my case, my teen has her own FS account but both her account and my account go to my email? is that counted as two separate submitters or just one? (I was told it was by email and would be only one but that seems wrong)

Submitter: "A member is counted once who submits one or more names for temple work. A submission includes printing a Family Ordinance Request, printing a family name card, or sharing a name with the temple." So if someone uses someone else's account, then the account is counted the first time a submission is made by that account each year. If the owner of the account has already made a submission, then any subsequent submission by someone else using that account is not counted for the FHAR. Each FS account is unique.

Thank you. My kids don't use my account, they have their own account, but ALL our FS accounts (mine and kids not hubs) go to MY email account. Our Area leaders gave an in-service and said it was counted by email account but it being by counted by personal FS account makes more sense

Each account is tied to a membership record. Each account that does one of the 3 ways to submit as indicated above counts as a submission.

 

So, a teenager using a parent's account would count only once (parent), not twice (parent and teenager). If the teenager uses her own account counts as a second submission, even if tied to the same email address.
