Tasks allow you to keep track of any congregation tasks you must perform, as well as assign and track tasks for others.
New World Scheduler will automatically generate certain tasks just for you, based on your congregation responsibilities. For example, Accounts Audit, Arrange Service Overseer visit, Check RP hours, etc.
Custom Tasks can also be created, and assigned either to yourself or others. Tasks have a Due Date and will show a warning when they are overdue.
- Note: New World Scheduler Tasks are designed for important congregation tasks only. This is not an organizer for your daily life or personal weekly schedule. There are many other apps you can use for your personal tasks or schedule.
