NW Scheduler/Publisher - Updates, Support, and Suggestions

[Tonis]

None of the brothers on the Service Committee has received an email, nor have they been assigned any tasks in Scheduler yet. I have no idea what’s triggering this in the background.

I am wondering the same thing!

 

I used it yesterday to submit an application for September and I haven't heard anything from anyone yet, so I will ask the Service Committee if they received the application. I'm really curious what the process is for them to receive and approve applications submitted through NWP.

I've started a test process... The secretary received it with the ability to approve. I am assuming the Secretary and Coordinator received the same.  Once they all "approve" it I am assuming they will be marked as an AP for that month in NWS.

There is a task created for every brother of the servicecomittee. After approval he/she appears on the list as auxiliary pioneer.

Thanks. Is there any information sent back to the publishers app that shows the application was approved?

When an AP Application is submitted through NWP by a publisher, who is notidied of this and how?  Thank you!

I submitted one and I didn't think it's working. I am an admin, and didn't see it imported anywhere after submitting.

The latest NWP update 4.1.3 now has an Auxiliary Pioneer application!

On NWP I am on version 4.1.3 but I can't find any auxiliary application. Where do you find it? As a group we are still on #1461 for NWS - will the AP application start appearing after we update to #1463 or am I missing something?

Its on the Me page under Away Periods. I don't have the answer to your second question.

Thank you - there it is!

After clicking “Apply” does the wording from the actual S-205b show up before a final submission? If it does not, there should be a way to turn this off. I don’t think we as a body would want publishers to apply without knowing they are signing/agreeing to the sections on the actual form. Without the actual wording of the form, I don't think this way of submitting an application would be approved by the Faithful Slave.

“Because of my love for Jehovah… I would like to increase my share in the field service by enrolling as an auxiliary pioneer…”

“I am of good moral standing and habits. I have made plans that will enable me to meet the hour requirement.”

Submit your application for September like I did and you will see the wording from the physical application. 😁

That is awesome. I thought about submitting a test application but our brothers would probably approve it before I could retract it.  I feel a lot better about it since the wording shows up.
