Transfer or Export Persons

New World Scheduler strongly believes 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 it is fair and right to allow data exchange between other scheduling programs.

Therefore, New World Scheduler supports transferring persons both to congregations using New World Scheduler, and congregations who don’t use New World Scheduler.

New World Scheduler Persons Person Information

Transfer Persons

  1. Select Persons view
  2. If you want to transfer only one person: Select the Person you want to Transfer.
  3. If you want to transfer multiple persons: Ensure no persons are selected. Use the Filter and Group to list only the persons you want to transfer.
    • Note: If you are transferring many persons, for example because a congregation is splitting or merging, first create a Field Service Group called “Transfer” or similar, then move these persons into this group. Finally select the group “transfer” and you can now transfer all persons in that “transfer” group.
  4. Click the Transfer button
  5. Choose how to transfer the data:
    • For Congregations using New World Scheduler, click to New World Scheduler file
    • For Congregations not using New World Scheduler, click either to PDF files or to CSV files.
  6. Choose the location on your computer you want to save the transfer files.
  7. Click Save
    • Note: This data can now be emailed or sent to the new congregation.
  8. After sending the data to the other congregation, you should either Delete or Move the person.
    • Note: Normally you would Delete the person. You would only Move the person if they will return within 6 months. Please see How to Delete or Move Persons for more information.on

Export for Circuit Overseer

New World Scheduler works with various Circuit Overseers to help us better understand what information they need when visiting congregations, and help them better access this data.

Common Questions and Problems

New World Scheduler strongly believes 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 it is fair and right to allow data exchange between other scheduling programs.

Therefore, New World Scheduler supports exporting data to a common data exchange format called CSV. This data can then easily be used by other programs to import. However it is obviously up to the other programs to actually import the data. That has nothing to do with us. You should contact them for instructions.
