Import from Majestic KHS

By /

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 scheduling programs.

Recently we have been working with KHS to allow quick and easy transfer of data between KHS and NW Scheduler.

You can now export data directly from KHS and import into NW Scheduler.

Import from multiple KHS computers

Unfortunately, many congregations have KHS installed on multiple computers that are not correctly synced. This makes it a challenge when importing into NW Scheduler, but we try hard to still help you import successfully.

You have two options:

Option 1

  1. Combine and merge all the KHS data together on one KHS computer
    • Note: If you need help doing this, please contact KHS
  2. Export KHS Data
  3. Import KHS Data into NW Scheduler

Option 2

  1. Each brother Exports KHS Data, which results in multiple exported Data files.
  2. On the computer with NW Scheduler, Import KHS Data into NW Scheduler multiple times, once for each exported data file. When imported, choose only the specific data you wish to import.
    • Note: NW Scheduler will attempt to match persons using their First Name, Middle Name, Last Name and Suffix. If all these do not exactly match, a new person will be created.
