Common Questions and Problems

Please carefully re-read Setup and Configure My Congregation Responsibilities above.

You can customize and configure how My Congregation Responsibilities are displayed in Settings > Me view Alerts

  • E.G. If you don’t schedule certain Duties, these can be removed.

New World Scheduler will check for missing Publisher information according to your Me view Settings.

By default, this includes checking for missing First Name, Last Name, Phone, Address, Email, Date of birth, Date of baptism.

If you wish to check for more or less missing information, please adjust your Me view Settings.

Please customize and configure how My Congregation Responsibilities are displayed in Settings > Me view Alerts. You can choose which Personal Information you require.

Your Settings > Me view Alerts determine what Emergency Contact information is required, and when warnings will show.

Please carefully re-read sfl 26.2. Emergency Contacts should be obtained from all publishers, not from all families.

Emergency Contacts will likely be different for each family member. This is both practical and wise.

For example, a wife may list her husband and her mother as her Emergency Contacts. Whereas the husband may list his wife and his father. Each person therefore has different Emergency Contacts.

New World Scheduler will check for missing Assignments and Duties according to your Me view Settings. If you wish to check for more or less unscheduled assignments or duties, please adjust your Me view Settings.

For example, if you don’t use all the Custom assignments or Custom duties, you should adjust your Me view Settings to not check for them.

For flexibility, the Me page Assignments and Duties view is not altered based on Congregation Events.

Some Congregation Events will cancel the midweek or weekend meetings, and some will not. Sometimes events that normally would cancel a meeting (such as a Convention) don’t due to various reasons (e.g. COVID).

In different parts of the world this is different again.

Therefore it has been decided for flexibility, the Me page Assignments and Duties view is not altered based on Congregation Events.

New World Scheduler will warn you if any reports are missing, i.e. the hours are blank. It will not warn if any reports are 0 hours.

As is the same with all publishers, if it is known a publisher did not report any time for a month, the hours should be set at 0, and not left blank. Blank means the report is missing.

New unbaptised should have the Date first started preaching set correctly.

New World Scheduler will warn you if any reports are missing, i.e. the hours are blank.

If you have just started using NW Scheduler, or new publishers move into your congregation, you should enter at least the last 12 months Field Service data for all publishers.
