Thanks, Jeremy. I wasn't able to find it but maybe someone will be able to point me to it. 

 

I would like to have a dismiss button next to warnings. My About Me section permanently has a red exclamation sign. Either a brother hasn't connected in several weeks, or someone is lacking a phone number or there is an unassigned local needs talk. Notifications are very useful, but when the red sign is constantly there you no longer pay any attention.

Jeremy may have been refering to the dropdowwn box in my screenshot. You find that in the first tab of Congregation Sharing - the overview tab. We have it set to "Never" but in the dropdown you can also set it for any 1-12 months.

Hi everyone! As a member of the NW ITA Telegram channel, I wanted to share some good news: we recently requested that the feature allowing the chairman to read the scheduled announcements by simply tapping on his assignment for that meeting be brought back. In the past, the only option was to print the chairman's program sheet.

Yesterday's update has reintroduced this feature — great news for all of us!

Please explain 😁

Sure! Basically, during the week a brother is assigned as chairman, he can read the scheduled announcements directly from the NW Scheduler app, in the personal assignments section. This is of course only visible on his own profile — no one else can see it.

Thanks, Marky. I had seen that box. It prevents the friends to having to enter all their data again from time to time. It's quite useful, but it's not directly related to changing the password.

Our brothers don't use that feature and probably don't know that it is available. Can you please explain more about it?

Yes, I think what we are having trouble to understand is who includes those announcements in the software, and how he does it.

Agreed. Our COBE emails the announcements to the chairman on the afternoon of the meeting. That arrangement works well for us. I doubt he will want to use NWP for the announcements but I am interested in what NWS/ NWP can do.

I nostri fratelli non usano questa funzione e probabilmente non sanno che è disponibile. Puoi spiegarmi meglio?

Sorry, I made a mistake — I meant NW Publisher, not NW Scheduler!

I'm attaching a screenshot to show you where to find it, even though I'm not assigned as chairman anytime soon, so the actual announcement text won't be visible — but at least you'll know where to look when the time comes!

Thank you, but please explain how the information is assigned to the Chairman. Does the COBE use the Information Board feature in NWS to post the information for the Chairman? Hasn't that always been available?

 

Which program was changed to reintroduce that feature, NWS or NWP? I don't see any changes in either one of them about the feature you said was reintroduced 

 

I'm trying to understand what you say was reintroduced, I don't see that anything has changed. I do have the latest updates.
