NW Scheduler on a Kingdom Hall Computer
NW Scheduler may be installed and used on a Kingdom Hall computer.
In lands of limited resources, not everyone may own a computer. A Kingdom Hall computer can be an excellent way to allow all appointed brothers to use NW Scheduler. In some cases, multiple congregations could even use the same Kingdom Hall laptop.
You will require a Congregation License.
Windows User Accounts
NW Scheduler data is encrypted and stored inside the local Windows User Account.
Therefore, to ensure proper privacy and security of your NW Scheduler data, you should first setup a separate Windows User Account for each brother.
Brothers should not share a Windows User Account.
Please see Manage user accounts in Windows by Microsoft Support. There is no need to setup an “online” account. Local Accounts work fine.
Using NW Scheduler on a Kingdom Hall computer
One brother should use his Windows User Account to install and setup New World Scheduler on the Kingdom Hall computer. He should also Enable and Setup Congregation Sharing.
Each other brother should:
- Login to Windows using their own Windows User Account
- Open NW Scheduler
- Click Open a Congregation from Sharing
The same process could be followed by other congregations sharing the Kingdom Hall.
