New World Scheduler Circuits, Congregations & Public Speakers allows you to add circuits, neighbor congregations and public speakers. You can then quickly and easily schedule Public Talks. You can also edit your own Away Public Speakers from this screen.
Additionally, Public Speakers can Import and Export Public Speakers from any neighboring congregations. If a neighboring congregation is not using New World Scheduler, you can still add them, and still print reports of your Public Speakers for them.
To Add and Edit Circuits, Congregations and Public Speakers, click Congregation > Circuits, Congregations & Speakers
- Circuits, Congregations & Speakers has been designed to work with Public Speaker Sharing. This allows you to automatically share and sync public speaker data with nearby congregations.
