  1. In the first comment on this page I quoted from the US Addendum where it says: "3. The body of elders may decide whether to retain Congregation’s Publisher Records (S-21) electronically or in printed form." So if you are in Europe or a country that has GDPR or Electronic Data Protection laws than your usage of personal information is governed by those laws. For example in the ministry in those countries you can't write down a person's contact details and pass this on to someone else. In addition, I believe that publishers have to give their consent to having a S-21 form kept on file. The conclusion is this you have to go by what the local laws are just as you go by the local customs and culture and as a result you have different instructions in different branches. That is why I said in the top comment, "Much easier in the USA" and that is from the USA addendum, which does not apply to other parts of the world.
  2. Much easier in the USA sfla-E Us 10/23 Correspondence and Records 3. The body of elders may decide whether to retain Congregation’s Publisher Records (S-21) electronically or in printed form. 4. There is no objection to using online storage services for nonconfidential documents, such as those containing information that would be posted on the information board. However, information of a sensitive or confidential nature, including judicial matters, should never be stored online.
  3. Did you ever find out if NWS works on the snapdragon plus /elite processors? I am contemplating getting the just announced Surface Pro 12 which has the snapdragon plus processor.
  4. Didn't really know where to post this, but I am contemplating to get the new Microsoft Surface Pro 12 with the Snapdragon X Plus processor using Windows 11 Pro. Does anyone heard of any compatibility issues running NW Scheduler on these non Intel processor Surface Pro devices?
  5. Yes all the other blue color arrows work it is just the memorial one. On the home page under events the memorial displays properly.
  6. A HUGE request to the developers Is there any way that some houses can receive a special color selection for being available ONLY to the elderly and infirm? Let me explain. All the available homes in a territory have the color and can be worked, however some of the houses are not suitable for the elderly and infirm because of many steps or a steep walkway incline. I would like to mark some houses prior to our ministry in a different color than blue which signals these are ONLY to be worked by the elderly and infirm with using the normal status changes. I know I am able to use a work around by using one of the custom buttons and mark those houses as Infirm and then let the publishers work them as normal. However after completing the territory I would have to keep track of which ones were for the infirm. Surely this is a very common occurrence in the congregations where in some territories there are homes that can be easily accessed by the elderly and infirm and since the houses don't change it would be nice to keep track of them.
  7. These are my screen shots using Samsung S21 and latest Android and NWP versions for the device. Schedules Page Clicking Blue Arrow
  8. I have the latest versions just like you have and my home page looks like yours, but my Schedules page does have the entry: Saturday April 12, 2025 Memorial However when clicking the writing or the blue right arrow, than just a dark grey page displays and when clicking the back arrow on the bottom of my Samsung Android phone the following error message displays: Error Occurred: Null check operator used on a null value. Not a big deal as the home page display for the memorial works fine. Mind you though I updated an April 2 version from the play store.
  9. I presume you will go from a map to Digital addresses. What I did is, I took one territory and created a portion of it as a test territory and digitized the addresses. Labeled it as number 999 and gave it the name Testing. Made it available to the whole congregation so that the publishers could experiment with it to their hearts delight, what it is like to change the status according to what happened at the address. You need this when the BofE decides to go with this method of working the territory. I am very sure they will agree as it is a game changer in every which way.
  10. Thanks for trying to help. But the export selected addresses is busted, not working a definite coding problem. The size of the CSV file is 1k which indicates it should have data in it. It is not wrongly formatted for Exel as Notepad shows it is empty and has no data. What you suggested as an option is what I have done as a work around. Export ALL data, then select the status column and sort it alphabetically which puts the Not At Homes and the No Trespassing at the very end of the sheet. Delete all other rows and then create a report of ALL Not At Homes and No Trespassing and pass them on to the Phone witnessing and Letter Writing brothers. Thanks for your help and with the work around I got a temporary solution. Just wanted to pass this on to the developers, because It should not be that difficult to take all the addresses and then parse them with the criteria that is ticked in the selection box.
  11. Reporting an error with exporting selected addresses from a territory. After finishing our 1st campaign territory, I wanted to export just the not at homes and followed this procedure: Clicking on the export selected addresses: The export was successful and saved the addresses in file Territory 203 Territory Addresses Not Home.csv However when I open the file in Excel it only has one field with data which looks like junk. I can export all Addresses and then just select the Not At Homes, but I thought to bring this to the attention of the developers.
  12. Scheduler Device for Congregation Meetings while at the Hall. I am trying to get some ideas what kind of device have some of you used for the scheduler while at the Kingdom Hall. On Saturday I had to return home to my PC as some of the addresses in a few territories were not displaying in the NWP. Had to go home and resubmit them for the campaign and they finally did display in NWP. I don't want to take my laptop to the meeting, but will entertain suggestions for tablets that you have found useful for using the scheduler white at the kingdom hall. Thanks.
  13. Quick question about the campaign feature in the territory section. When assigning lets say 5 territories to an active campaign can publishers choose any of these 5 territories to work or will they have to work the 1st and when that one is done move to the next? A territory checked out appears as the 1st one in the owners territory page but is sorted numerical for all others. Is there a way to change the sort order of the territories for all publishers in the NWP app? Will the campaign territories only be different in color or will they also be having a different position in the territory page? Thanks, getting ready for the memorial invitation campaign.
  14. Yes, there is a difference between restarting a PC and shutting it down then turning it back on; when you restart, the computer completely shuts down and then immediately powers back on, while shutting down simply turns off the power, requiring you to manually turn it back on later, which means a restart essentially performs a full system reset while a shutdown just closes all programs and exits the operating system without resetting anything. I have done this ever since I had some problematic installations. A restart doesn't wipe out any Klingons from poor programmed software
