No. According to the directions we have been instructed not to record Not At Homes at a congregation level. Such record keeping must be personal and done at a publisher level. Unless this direction has changed I thought this was global due to data privacy. 

 

Hey Pete, welcome to JWTalk!

 

Instructions vary from country to country. In Europe we cannot record anything at all, not even the contact data if we meet an interested person. We give them our contact information and pray that they call us, or try to memorize the address. In the US, on the other hand, privacy laws are a lot more permissive.

 

In any case, I think the NW Schedule territory system could still be adapted to most situations. Instead or recording not at  homes, we could use two states: done or pending. Houses that are already worked can be marked as done until the territory is finished. 

 

In case laws do not even allow that, maps can be used without marking individual houses.
