NW Scheduler/Publisher - Updates, Support, and Suggestions

[DarinS]

Yes - similar to John - we had to kind of 'come to an agreement' as BOE

 

had a new secretary wanted to counsel/possibly remove Pioneer for only getting 600 of the required 840

 

comments section he had (decreased to match the max 'carry-over')

so if they had 50-preaching + 40LDC  - he only noted 20 - which met the 'total needed for the month'

 

however the pioneer was reporting quite a bit more those months

after we saw 8-9 months of huge 'credits' we weren't that worried about "only 600 hours preaching"

they maybe had 600 for the preaching but had another 600 in LDC/AH/Schools

 

the CO had us back up and look at the whole picture - he mentioned that even though it says to add the credits up to a certain level(currently monthly requirement +5) .... there was nothing wrong with having the extra hours listed under comments - to help us make reasonable decisions when we review Pioneer info 

 

your issue seems to be more app usage and math (thus our SEC request  to add it twice)

 

imagine if you still had to annotate everyones hours.....man that used to take hours and hours every month

The directions are clear on what to do with extra hours.  The total should be noted and the elders should take that into consideration, but only up to 55 can be actually counted.  I myself cant count all of my hours (can only count roughly 1/3 of my total credit hours).  My concern isn't with those instructions, nor with what to do with someone who is a little (or even a lot) short.

 

It's more to do with how the hours are entered.  I find that I have to regularly go back and "fix" credit hours.  The S-4 has no "credit" box, only comments which is where the directions state to enter credit hours.  This allows the secretary / service committee the opportunity to look at those hours before crediting them.  IMO "credit" in NWP should be a read-only field

Excellent Good News, with the latest update of NWS the Satellite view of territories is working again. The best map service is the MapBox Satellite as the other map service ThinkGeo Satellite is not as clear and sharp, plus my first quick check shows in one territory finished homes in an undeveloped area. So, it looks like that an update for the ThinkGeo Satellite map service is needed.

 

Thanks to the Devs for getting such a quick fix for the territory module.

Just catching up on this thread. I don't use dark mode either. I've tried, both on the phone and on the computer. However, over the years I've come to understand that people love to configure their personal computing devices in all kinds of ways and I've come to appreciate dark mode availability for two concrete reasons:

Modern displays are reaching the point where brightness levels can be uncomfortable, especially on displays where no attempt at adjustment or calibration has been made (I usually wind up with brightness set to a comfortable level and contrast adjusted to best see the full range of gamma). Brightness nits are another feature to be listed and compared. 

 

Some neurodivergent people have issues with bright lights. I don't understand it, I don't know all the conditions and ways that a bright screen can affect them but I don't need to, just knowing that they feel better with a dark screen is enough for me.

 

Hi Chris!

 

Thank you for your good attitude in relation to neurodivergent people despite not understanding things in relation to us. There's not too many people who accept without first understanding so, that's very commendable on your part.

 

As a neurodivergent person myself, I'm happy to explain the reason for our sensitivity to light and screens if you would like to know. These are issues that many of us NDs have to contend with often! 

 

Thank you for reading this reply and I hope it finds you feeling happy and doing well dear brother.
