New World Scheduler supports Importing and Exporting 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 the following from Hourglass app into New World Scheduler:
Import Congregation and ALL data from Hourglass app (recommended)
- Note: If you have already created a New World Scheduler Congregation, it is usually better to first Delete the congregation before importing from Hourglass. However if you already have entered lots of data, or imported some data from KHS, etc, please see Import Persons and Publisher Records from Hourglass app.
