TheocBase/TheocBase

TheocBase can handle discontinued public talks, meaning the theme of a talk can change in the course of time and is also determined by the date, it is given. After the initial import, you can make adjustments as to the <a href="settings_public_talks.html#revised_public_talk_outlines">discontinued talks</a> and import the data once again, to have the correct theme for each date in the schedule.

<strong>KHS</strong> (Kingdom Hall Schedules) is a program to manage congregation schedules. You can import congregations, talks, the history of scheduled speakers and assigned brothers for the weekend meetings (chairman, reader of the Watchtower Study).

Navigate to the <strong>KHS</strong> installation and choose the <strong>data</strong> folder. After finishing, the message <strong>Import complete</strong> appears.

<strong>Ta1ks</strong> is a program to schedule public meetings. You can import congregations, talks, the history of scheduled speakers and assigned brothers for the weekend meetings (chairman, reader of the Watchtower Study).

When editing the geometry in a third party tool like QGIS, TheocBase will not be aware of the changes during cloud syncing. In order to upload the changes you need to mark the territories as edited e.g. add a blank in the remark field. Alternatively you can also export the territories into a KML file and reimport this file in TheocBase.

Add the layers by clicking on the <strong>OK</strong> button.
