Territory Addresses

NW Scheduler can be used to quickly and easily add territory addresses, including the address coordinates.

Addresses can be displayed on the printed Territory Card or the NW Publisher app.

Adding territory addresses is entirely optional, and NW Scheduler allows congregations to add as many or few addresses as you need.

The advantage of adding territory addresses is you can ensure you thoroughly cover your territory, including specifying how many times to try a Not at Home. The disadvantage to adding addresses is that it can take time to add and manage many addresses.

Congregations might choose any of the following:

• Add all addresses in all territories
• Add only rural addresses in rural territories
• Add only Do Not Calls addresses
• Add only business addresses
• Add “streets” as Addresses
• Add no addresses

To access Territory Addresses:

1. Click Territories > Territories List or Territories List and Map
2. Select a territory
3. Click Territory Addresses

Territory Address List

NW Scheduler displays a list of all Territory Addresses belonging to that territory. This list can be Expanded or Contracted by using the side arrow.

• Note: All territory addresses with coordinates will also show on the Master Map

The Territory Address List can be filtered by Territory Type or Territory Status.

The Territory Address List displays the following information:

• Has Coordinates icon
• Territory Type icon
• Address
• Territory Status
• Date the status was updated (using NW Publisher app)
• Publisher who updated the status (using NW Publisher app)
• Has Notes from Publisher icon (using NW Publisher app)

Color Highlighting

• Note: The NW Scheduler color highlighting is a little different to the NW Publisher app colors. See NW Publisher app Features – Territory – Map View for more information.

A territory address will be shaded light green if the Status is Home.

A territory address will be shaded light orange if the Status is Not Home.

A territory address will be shaded light red if the status is Do Not Call.

A territory address will be shaded light blue if the status is New from Publisher.

A territory address will be shaded custom color if the status is Custom.

Address Information

Address Type

Territory Addresses can be any of the following types:

When adding an Apartment block, you must also add the individual Apartment Numbers.

Address Status

• Note: If enabled, publishers can update the Address Status using the NW Publisher app Open Map view. Updated statuses are automatically synchronized when any brother with User Access – Receive App Territories opens NW Scheduler.
• Note: Each Address Status button on the NW Publisher app Open Map view can be separately enabled or disabled. A disabled button means publishers will not be able to change that Territory Address Status.
  • For example , to prevent publishers from changing Do Not Calls, Disable the Do Not Call button. However this will also prevent publishers from reporting any new Do Not Calls. See Address Status Buttons.

  Territory Addresses and Territory Address Apartment Numbers can be set to any of the following statuses:

  1. Available. Publishers can visit this address.
  2. At Home. Someone was at home at this address.
  3. Not At Home. No one was at home at this address.
     • Note: The attempt number must also be set
  4. Do not call. Do not call at this address.
  5. New from publisher. This address was sent by a publisher using NW Publisher app. The Territory Servant should first check the address, then change the status to Available or At Home.
  6. Custom. This are 3 Custom statuses that can be adjusted in Territory Settings.
     • E.G. Foreign Language, No Access, Brother-only call, etc
  • Note: If you need to add more detailed information about an Address, please use the Notes field. This will display on the NW Publisher app under the address. E.G. specific language, reason for No Access, Name of householder, etc.

  Custom Address Status

  NW Scheduler allows each address to have a Custom status that can be set according to your local circumstances.

  • For example: Foreign Language, No Access, Nightshift worker, Brother-only call, etc.

  You can enable, adjust the text and color of the Custom Status in Territory Settings.

  Address Notes

  Each address and apartment can optionally have Notes which will display on the on the NW Publisher app.

  These notes should only contain unique and important information about a specific house or apartment. E.G. “entrance around the back”, or “Dial 1 before unit number”. Notes should rarely be added.

  • Important: Personal notes from publishers, or notes that might might prejudice the next publisher should not be added , e.g. “left a tract”, “not interested”, or “angry householder” should not be added. Publishers should use their own methods to record RV’s or interested ones.

  If enabled, publishers can Edit Address Notes and send the changes to NW Scheduler for checking by the Territory Servant. When a new Note from Publisher is received, it will appears under Notes from Publisher.

  The Territory Servant can check the note and either click Copy to Address Notes or Clear Notes from Publisher.

  Notes from Publisher

  Notes from Publisher is a temporary field that is used when receiving Address Notes from publishers using NW Publisher app.

  If Edit Address Notes is enabled, publishers can send any Address Notes to the Territory Servant via NW Scheduler. When a new Note from Publisher is received, it will be added to the Notes from Publisher field of that address or apartment.

  • For Example: Locked Gate, House is demolished, House is now an apartment, Entrance around the back, etc.

  The Territory Servant can check the note and either click Copy to Address Notes or Clear Notes from Publisher.

  There are multiple ways to see if any Addresses have Notes from Publishers:

  1. The Territories > Addresses grid has a column called Notes from Publisher, which will display a Clipboard picture if that address has any Notes from Publishers.
  2. The Me view for the Territory Servant will show how many Notes from Publishers are waiting to be checked, and in which Territories they can be found.
  3. The Territory > Address Notes from Publishers Report lists all Notes from Publishers for all addresses. (This will be available in a future update)

  Receiving Notes from Publisher

  Address Notes are automatically updated in NW Scheduler when NW Scheduler is first opened.

  • Note: The person must have User Access – Territories – Receive App Territories

  New World Scheduler

  New World Scheduler was created to help simplify and unify the scheduling and organising by appointed brothers in the congregation. Whether you are serving as an elder or ministerial servant, the Coordinator of the Body of Elders, Secretary, or have any other responsibility, we hope that New World Scheduler makes your work easier and quicker. That way we can all spend more time with our families, preaching, teaching and shepherding!

  New World Scheduler was created and is maintained by a small team of brothers and sisters based in Australia. Our team are all currently in full-time service, and all brothers are elders. Between us we have spent over 40 years in the full-time service, including more than 10 years in special full-time service. Our team members have also served at branch offices, remote translation offices and in lands where the need is greater.

  Kind Regards,
  New World Scheduler Team
