NW Scheduler | Territory Assignments

Note: Each person can be assigned a maximum of 10 territories at one time, and each Field Service Group can be assigned a maximum of 15 territories at one time.

NW Publisher app Display

Territories assigned to a Person for Congregation use will appear on the NW Publisher app in the Congregation list. Everyone in the congregation can see the territory.

Territories assigned to a Person for Personal use will appear on the NW Publisher app in the Personal Territories List. Only that person can see the territory.

Territories assigned to a Field Service Group for Field Service Group use will appear on the NW Publisher app in the Field Service Group list. Only persons in that Field Service Group can see the territory.

Territories assigned to a Field Service Group for Congregation use will appear on the NW Publisher app in the Congregation list. Everyone in the congregation can see the territory.

Territories assigned to a Neighbor Congregation will not appear on the NW Publisher app.

Personal Territory

Assigning a territory to a Person does not mean it is a Personal Territory. By default, all assigned territories will show on the app in the Congregation Territories list.

This is because the majority of preaching is not done with Personal Territories, but together as a group.

- For example, a brother conducting the Wednesday morning Meeting for Field Service would be assigned a territory. He will arrange and direct everyone who is witnessing on Wednesday morning to work this territory together. (See km 3/15 pp. 3-6 par 6, or od 65-67, or km 11/98 pp. 4 par 7)

Personal Territories should be considered a “supplement” to Group Witnessing, and should not replace group witnessing. (see km 12/06 p. 8 par 5)

Neighbor Congregation

Territories assigned to a Neighbor Congregation will not appear on the NW Publisher app, and are not sent or “synchronized” with a Neighbor Congregation. This is for your reference and records only.

For example, if your congregation has difficulty covering all your territory, you might loan several territories to a Neighbor Congregation.
