Settings

The Settings window lets you control how Meeting Schedule Assistant behaves across key areas such as schedule formatting, email handling, workbook data, backups, and update checks.

It uses a tabbed layout to group related options together, with each tab covering a different part of the application. This makes it easy to tailor the software to your congregation’s needs and workflow.
