How can a Lodge use an application not
specifically designed for their Jurisdiction?

The generic version of the application is universal. The only difference between the applications which have been modified for a specific Jurisdiction and the generic version is the format in which the information is presented.

As an example every Grand Jurisdiction needs to know:

	The dates on which a candidate receives his First and Second degrees.
	When he becomes a Master Mason.
	When a Mason affiliates with other Lodges.
	When a member dimits from your Lodge.
	When a one of your members is suspended, restored or passes away.
	Who the Elective Officers of the various Lodges are.
	Who is receiving special awards or honors.
	and so on.

Also the individual Lodges need to:

	Be able to retrieve information on their individual members.
	Know who is eligible for service or veterans awards.
	Know who has received various awards.
	Know who is delinquent in their dues payments and who is current.
	Print mailing labels.
	Print rosters of their membership.
	Print birthday lists.
	Know who their Officers are.
	Know who their Pastmasters are.
	Know who their Candidates are. etc..
	Set up their individual committees
	Keep in touch with their Masonic Widows.
	And so on.

This information, and much more, is compiled and printed at a mouse click. Many Grand Jurisdictions accept the forms and reports printed by this application as is. If your Grand Lodge does not, you simply transfer the data to their particular form. However you do no research. The application does that for you at the click of the mouse.
