Overview

The Week Overview panel gives you a concise summary of the midweek and weekend meetings for the currently selected week. It also highlights any special events, adjustments, or exceptions that may affect the congregation’s schedule. As you navigate through different weeks, the panel updates automatically to reflect the relevant information.

You can resize the main window to enlarge the summary panel for improved readability.

Summary Panel

The data shown in this panel is sourced from the Assignment History database.

Midweek and Weekend Meeting Details

The Week Overview displays key information for both meetings, such as:

  • Meeting dates and times
  • Assigned brothers
  • Special items or variations
  • Notes or exceptions for the week

This allows you to confirm the schedule at a glance without opening the Meeting Editor.

Special Events

If a special event affects the congregation’s schedule — such as a Circuit Assembly, Special Talk, or Memorial — it will appear in the Week Overview.
This helps you quickly identify weeks that differ from the standard meeting pattern.

Updating Meeting Attendance

You can update the Meeting Attendance for each meeting directly from the Week Overview panel. This allows you to keep attendance records current without using the Meeting Attendance manager.

When you change any attendance values in the panel, the updates are not saved immediately. Instead, a confirmation message appears asking whether you want to save the updated information to the database. This prompt is only shown if you have made changes, and it appears when you:

  • navigate from one week to another
  • choose a different week via the calendar
  • or close the application

Only after you confirm are the updated attendance values saved to the database.

Assignment History Upgrade Prompt

If you navigate to a week where the Assignment History database has not yet been upgraded, a message will appear informing you that an update is required. This ensures that features such as Meeting Attendance work correctly and that all assignment data is stored in the latest format.

Expanded Information

If you click Find out more, the message expands to show additional details about why the upgrade is needed and how to complete it. This helps you understand the steps required to bring your data up to date.

Suppressing the Message

If you tick Don’t show this message next time, the notification will be suppressed and will not appear again. This option is useful if you are already aware of the required upgrade and prefer not to be reminded.
