Start the wizard

A second, shorter wizard covering meeting- and display-related preferences, separate from the main Setup Interview.

2

Set email basics

Enter your congregation name, choose the default language for outgoing emails, and turn reminder emails on or off.

3

Choose how names display

Pick the format publisher names appear in (e.g. First Last, or Last, First), and whether Korean or Chinese names should be auto-formatted.

4

Set your midweek school count

Choose how many schools your midweek meeting uses.

5

Hide unused weekend meeting fields

Turn off any weekend meeting roles your congregation does not use, like a translator or a second prayer.

6

Configure attendance and AV visibility

Show or hide the Zoom attendance field, and turn off any AV and Attendant roles that do not apply to your Kingdom Hall.

7

Review and save

The final step summarizes every choice before you save.

How is this different from the Setup Interview?
The Setup Interview covers territory and address-related settings; Setup and Preferences covers meeting display and formatting choices instead.
What does auto Korean/Chinese name formatting do?
It automatically applies the correct name order and formatting conventions for Korean or Chinese names, and is on by default.
Can I hide an AV role we do not use, like a Zoom Attendant?
Yes, each AV and Attendant role has its own visibility toggle, so unused roles do not clutter the schedule.
