To see App Members, click App > App Members

Only members listed as App Members can use the JW Scheduler – Publisher Edition App and connect to your congregation.

Note: By default, all Publishers and CLM students with a First Name are listed as App Members.

A report of all App Members and their Member PINs can be printed by clicking App > App Members > Print, or from Reports > Members > App Members

Note: We recommend Group Overseers help those in their field service group install and use the App.

How to Add, Edit or Remove a Member

To Add a Member

Members are automatically added to the App Members list when the following is true:

- They are a Publisher or CLM Student.
- They have a First Name
- Disable App is unticked (in Members > Assign)

Members in the App List are displayed according to their status:

- Light yellow. Members added to the App Members list and Sent to the App, but who have not yet connected. These members can connect to the App.
- White. Members who have been Sent to the App and have connected.

To Edit a Member

To edit any member details, use Members > Member Information.
1. Note: If you change their First Name, remember you also must Send this data to the App.
To change a Members PIN, select the Member, click Reset PIN.

To Remove a Member

Click Members > select the member > click Assign > tick Disable App, OR
Click Members > select the member > Delete the member

Note: Disfellowshipped members are also automatically removed from the App.

Refresh Member

If some of the Member data is not showing up correctly on their App, such as Assignments, Duties or submit Field Service Report status, simply select the member and click Refresh Member.

Reset PIN

Resetting the Member PIN gives them a new Member PIN and also refreshes their Member information. This can be used if a user has problems connecting.

The Member PIN will then be updated and the new PIN will be displayed in the App Members List.

Check Contact Details

Check Contact Details is used by elders to allow publishers to check and update their Contact Details, as well as their Emergency Contacts.

Click App > App Members
Select the member or multiple members
Click Check Contact Details

This will cause a Check Contact Details notification to show in the publishers JW Scheduler – Publisher Edition App on their mobile device. They can then see and update their Contact Details, as well as their Emergency Contacts. Once they have verified this information, publishers will Send this information back to the congregation.

To Import their checked Contact Details, please see App Send and Receive Data.

This process ensures the publishers contact details and emergency contact details are never stored online, but are simply transferred to and from their phone back to the local congregation elders.

Delegates

If a publisher or CLM student does not own a mobile phone or does not want to use the JW Scheduler App, another publisher can be set as their Delegate. This means the delegated publisher will see any assignments or duties for the other person, and can submit their Field Service Report.

A publisher can only have one delegate, but publishers can be assigned as delegates for multiple publishers.

Example 1: Brother John is the Group Overseer. There are 3 older sisters in his group who do not have mobile phones. Brother John can be assigned as the delegate for those 3 older sisters, and can submit their reports using the App.
Example 2: Brother James is a family head. His younger children are CLM students, but do not have mobile phones. Brother James can be assigned as the delegate for his children, and will see any upcoming CLM assignments.

To Assign a Delegate:

Click App > App Members
Select the member who requires a delegate.
Click Assign Delegate
Select the member who will act as their delegate.
Click OK

To Remove a Delegate:

Click App > App Members
Select the member who has a delegate
Click Remove Delegate
