NW Scheduler/Publisher - Updates, Support, and Suggestions

Yes, that's definitely possible. The advantage of the app is that the entire organizational structure of the municipality is already in place. You can then check off exactly who has already been visited and what their status is. All data is centrally synchronized and available for appointed brothers. This way, you can be sure you've contacted everyone.

Wow! You have invested a lot of work into that app already. Looks really nice. And yes, of course, we can borrow ideas from our brothers! isn't that what we're for??😉

 

Your earlier comments about lack of internet capability in early days after a disaster are definitely on target. In one recent disaster here, only one cell tower remained operational for the whole town. My understanding is that you want your app to collect needed disaster info off-line and upload it later. That would definitely be awesome if you could do it.

 

In an actual disaster, a brother might be assigned to visit 6-8 homes on day #1. He would collect info, take a few photos at each home and move to the next. So, trying to think how to do this... would your app have a DB table for this purpose, with a row for each home? Then a couple pages to walk him through the data entry? That would have many advantages and eliminate a couple bottlenecks and potential error sources.

Yes, that's definitely possible. The advantage of the app is that the entire congregation structure, including all responsibilities, is already present. So you can check off who has been visited and inventoried. All data is centrally synchronized and available to appointed brothers. I previously developed a kanban screen that visualizes the status of this. I'll use that here as well.

This is what I mean by the kanban board. This should also be possible here.
