Once you have a large number of prayer requests in Rock, it could be difficult to view all of them or to find the one(s) you are looking for. Prayer Categories were created to help you find exactly what you are looking for as an Administrator and to help prayer teams as they work through requests. When a prayer request is entered on the website by a requester, it is automatically given the default category General unless the requester selects another category from the drop-down list. Selecting a top category will enable all the sub-categories as options. As Administrators review the new requests, they edit or can assign a category to each request to help the prayer team work through them. Pre-defined Prayer Categories include things like God's Will, Health, Comfort/Grief and Family Issues. You can modify the available categories under Admin Tools > Settings > Prayer Categories if you find that they don't meet all your needs. You can enable prayer categories on the block settings of the Prayer Request Entry block, if you want the requesters to be able to specify the category their request fits into. Any child categories of the Category Selection option you select will be available for the requester to choose from. If Category Selection is left blank however, then the category option will be hidden from the requester, and new prayer requests they enter will be automatically assigned the category you select in the Default Category option. As a prayer team begins a prayer session, they can see prayer categories that have active prayers and select from those categories if the total number of prayers is too many for one session.
