Hourglass

Security

Security was not an afterthought when building Hourglass. All communication to and from the Hourglass application is encrypted, as is all data at rest. The systems are hosted in a redundant environment dedicated to Hourglass and are regularly backed up. You can export your Congregation's data through the Export feature and via the S-21 Publisher Record Cards.

Features

• Hourglass allows members of your Congregation to receive an invitation and then enter their own field service reports through a web browser, iOS or Android app. Publishers can be sent reminders to turn in their time through email or push notifications.
• The delegates feature allows one publisher to submit reports for another (such as a parent for their child).
• Congregation administrators can view and update reports for all publishers in their Congregation, as well as send them invites, right from the mobile app.
• Emergency/disaster contacts can be maintained for each publisher.
• You can generate a PDF of S-21 Publisher Record Cards, for one publisher or for the entire Congregation, and print them onto blank 4x6 index cards if desired. These can be organized automatically for the file.
• Reports include missing time, a monthly summary (on which you indicate what has been submitted to the Branch, so that your reports are accurate), and a detailed monthly report, which includes the full report of each individual. There are also Congregation, Publisher, and Group average reports, Regular Pioneer progress, and the annual Congregation Analysis report.
• Hourglass keeps track of field service groups and organizes many reports by them. It also allows you to enter your meeting attendance for each month.
• Hourglass can import your data from KHS, The Secretary, and TSWIN.
