NW Scheduler/Publisher - Updates, Support, and Suggestions

[drd217]

I am wondering what the "No" bullet means located below the Field Service Group listing? I'm sure it's in the help file, but haven't found it. Thanks

I'm expecting it next week. There will be a new application. I can't say anything about it because I don't know the details. But there was a reference in the new translation file. 

I am translating it also but I did not notice any new application other than it will support CLM Explorer-files.

Something that I am missing is the possibility to add songs via NWP and other minor details to the public talks.
Now I need to wait until I get home and start my main computer to make small changes.

If you mark someone by mistake as the group overseer or assistant, or if the group overseer or assistant changes, that "no" serves to unmark the previous brother. Selecting a new overseer doesn't unmark the previous one.

So I’ve moved into a new congregation and they’re still getting to grips with NWPublisher. 
 

The Secretary and Service Overseer are both in their 70s and are not great with technology on the best of days… but yesterday was something else! 
 

I was leaving the ministry group and then received a load of notifications through the app saying I had assignments… when I looked I’d been given the CBS, a LAC item and then the best one…

They gave me-a sister-chairman! And they had no idea how it happened either! 😂😂

 

I said to them both I’d would be a new experience but I’ll give it a go… several panicked messages went on between the elders and it’s now been resolved but for about an hour I was the 1st sister to be given Elder assignments at the midweek meeting 😂

Well, there is always a first!..... Sounds like either your previous cong has exported an incorrect profile or, if they didn't use Scheduler, your new cong made a dog's breakfast out of the Assign tab options on your profile. Better make sure they have reset it or you might get assigned to give a Public Talk  🤨

Congrats. So that's what the next update will be about.

It was definitely my new Congs error 😂

How do you use the at home button in conjunction with the not at home button when in the ministry? 

[foghorn]

Here is our standard setup with 6 buttons:

1. At Home = had conversation with someone, no need to work this address again
2. Not Home (1st) = try again another day
3. Not Home (2nd) = Not home 2nd time: this address will now be included in the letter-writing territory
4. Do Not Call = Specifically requested by Householder: do not call, write, or telephone
5. No Tress, Priv Prop = 'No Trespassing' or 'Private Property' sign somewhere on property
6. Vacant = no need to call or write (our territory has high number of vacant properties)

NOTES:

1. The selected address is marked as yellow on map
2. After territory is worked in person and returned, the 'Letter-Writing' function is activated. All addresses marked "Not Home" or "No Tress, Priv Prop" will be included on the list. These territories are available to all the friends to work at any time - they simply select an address, mark it "Letter Sent" and send their letter, then repeat.

We have almost the same but why did you use a 2nd button for Not Home? When I press the Not Home button I get a choice to tick 1st or 2nd. When ticked 1st it becomes orange, when ticked 2nd it become grey and  now is part of the phone/letter writing territory.

 

Button 6 we use to reserve houses for "Infirm"
