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.
