Import your Congregation and Data

To use New World Scheduler, you must first either Create a Congregation, Open a Congregation or Import a Congregation.

New World Scheduler supports Importing and Exporting congregation data into a variety of common file formats.

We believe your congregation and person data is your own, and you should be able to Import and Export your data as you wish. We also believe that as true Christians, it is both reasonable and right to allow data exchange between other JW scheduling programs.

New World Scheduler can import your congregation and data from the following sources:

This allows you to quickly and easily get started with New World Scheduler with all your existing congregation, person, and schedule data.

At this time, Importing is only supported in NWS Desktop.

If you have already created a New World Scheduler congregation

  1. Open NWS Desktop
  2. Click Congregation > Import or Export
NW Scheduler Congregation Import or Export New World Scheduler

If you have NOT already created a New World Scheduler congregation

  1. Open NWS Desktop
  2. At Getting Started, choose an option under Import Congregation
NWS Desktop Getting Started View New World Scheduler
  • Note: NWS Desktop and NWS Mobile only support having one congregation open at a time. If there is already a congregation open on your device, please first Delete Congregation.

We strongly recommend you are familiar with how to Backup and Restore your data before you start using New World Scheduler.
