Field Service Groups

Field Service Groups in Hourglass are identified by the Group Overseer. Groups are used when viewing a number of reports. A Group Overseer can have access, via an invitation, to view his group’s reports and, depending on the permissions granted to him, update them.

To manage Group assignments, go to Congregation, Field Service Groups. If you’re using a computer, you can drag and drop publishers between groups. You can also right-click to move groups, or make someone an assistant. On a mobile device, tapping a publisher will present an option menu allowing the same actions.

Clicking on this icon next to Meeting allows you to enter a brief description of when and where this group meets for field service.

Please note that when someone is a group overseer, their publisher record cannot be deleted. You also cannot just remove a group overseer; you need to replace them with someone else instead. If a group is dissolved, all its members need to be moved to other groups.

Hourglass creates two views of the field service groups intended for printing, one for the information board that excludes the Inactive, and another for Elders that displays the Inactive.
