Import from Ta1ks

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 JW scheduling programs.

New World Scheduler can import the Public Talk Schedule from Ta1ks, including any Public Speaker and Congregations.

Import Public Talk Schedule from Ta1ks

  • Note: If the First Name and Last Name exactly match an existing Public Speaker, the record will be merged. Otherwise a new Public Speaker will be created
  • Note: Ta1ks appears to only allow you to import your current and future schedule. There is obviously nothing we can do about this.
